Pretty simple scenario here.
Tossing together a quick test environment.
Single ESXi 4.1 host. On Host
Windows 2008 R2 - Running vCenter (4.1) and View Composer (2.5)
Windows 2008 Enterprise (x32) - Running View Server (4.5)
Windows 7 - Gold Master for View. (Agent 4.5)
All the machines are on the same domain, whose credentials I use to log into vCenter and View Admin.
When I attempt to create a link clone pool in the View admin panel, I get to Guest Customization. The domain drop down is blank (instead of the normal domain\user). When you click "Browse" next to AD Container you get the following message:
"Unable to retrieve information from Active Directory for domain null"
Hopefully someone can help square me away! I've a 4.0 set up (vCenter and ESXi) running View 4.5 with a few XP pools with no problems and I can't seem to figure out what the difference might be here.
