Azure Stack HCI Cluster deployment fails in the ValidateExternalAD step

Hi experts,

 

I'm trying to deploy an hybrid cluster with Azure Stack HCI 23H2 servers, I follow the steps in the documentation:

 

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure-stack/hci/deploy/deployment-introduction

 

I'm deploying the cluster from Azure portal and I get this error message:

                              

 

 

I reviewed the C:\MASLogs\AzStackHciEnvironmentChecker.log log and this is the error:

I assigned all admin permissions in the AD (like Administrators and Domain Admins Groups) and Delegate Control of the OU for msdeployuser 

 

Regards.
