To add VMWare ESXi host to AD using authentication services use:

# Browse to the host in the vSphere Web Client inventory.
# Click the Manage tab and click Settings.
# Under System, select Authentication Services.
# Click Join Domain.
# Enter a domain.
# Enter the user name and password of a directory service user who has permissions to join the host to the domain, and click OK.
# Click OK to close the Directory Services Configuration dialog box.

Note that for authentication to succeed, a group named "ESX Admins" (we cannot change the group name) should be created in AD.
