I resolved this issue by joining my vSphere hosts to the domain. My hosts are v6.0.2 as a reference. LikeWise is part of the authentication services in vSphere, and I'm 'guessing' there is a file that is created once vSphere is joined to a domain. I'm led to assume that joining it to a domain "fixes the glitch" in the log error getting generated.
On a couple hosts I had issues with management agents hanging and authentication servicing flaking out (/etc/init.d/lwsmd), which I addressed with this link :
