Error Not Joined: How to Fix it Permanently

As a user sometimes you might encounter an ERROR_NOT_JOINED error code on your PC. This is a pretty vague error, but there are ways to fix it, and today we’re going to show you how to do it.

How can I fix ERROR_NOT_JOINED?

Restore vCenter Server

1. Open the vCenter Server and restore the server and PSC from a backup or screenshot.
   
2. After doing that, change the password of the SSO administrator. Use something with less special characters.
3. Next, reattempt the converge.
4. If successful, reset the SSO administrator password.

The issue can appear on VMware vCenter Service Appliance if the SSO administrator account has too many special characters in its password or if the password is too complex.
