SolutionThe issue stood out when reading the following Frequently Asked Questions.
Question: Does iDRAC6 always use LDAP over SSL?
Answer: Yes. All the transportation is over secure port 636 and/or 3269.Our Domain Controllers didn't allow LDAP over SSL (LDAPS). The errors didn't come up in Google search so may this help someone else.
See my other post on how to enable LDAP over SSL: Enable LDAP over SSL (LDAPS) on Windows 2008 Active Directory Domain
