AD Authentication on ESXi servers not working

I have multiple VM Hosts (ESXi 4.1 and 5.0) configured and am having issues with authenticating admins through AD.  I join to the the domain successfully and have the ESX^Admins group added.  Some boxes work and some don't.  The strange part is, some boxes that used to work are no longer working.

Are there any logs and I can peruse to try to find the problem?  I've looked through the obvious ones and can't find anything out of the ordinary.

Thanks!

Try  /var/log/messages file on the ESXi host. Hope this helps!

DOH!  I didn't even think to check the underlying OS.  I'll give that a shot.

Do you have vCenter or all the hosts are standalone?

If you have vCenter then you can configure from vCenter.
This is the best money I have ever spent. I cannot not tell you how many times these folks have saved my bacon. I learn so much from the contributors.
