Why it is the benefit of AD Authentication allowing ESXi host integration with AD

Hi All,

We have around 800 + ESXi host globally including remote sites and most of the times struggling with correct password, hence inorder to resolve this challenge  we decided to integrate the ESXi host with AD but there is roadblock from security & Engineering team saying our standard practice to isolate our VMware hosts from AD. Could you provide brief explanation on why it is  needed to allow AD based authentication?  Any pointers will be much appreciated for highlighting the benefits.

Thanks
