vmware_host_active_directory does not have a parameter called 'ad_username' its actually 'ad_user'

Thanks

I corrected it and now it looks like its trying to ssh into the host as my username which does not exist on the esxi host. How do I impersonate ssh into the host as root?

Use `become`, you can read more here - https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/become.html
