- As stated , a power outage is irregular. You then need to restart the APs again when the power feed is solid,

- The software version on the controller is way to old as per https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless/wireless-lan-controller-software/200046-tac-recommended-aireos.html
you should use https://software.cisco.com/download/specialrelease/9a6a7cf84f9fdf04b95c76e2ac7820e7
Because there is a reasonable chance that in between corticates of APs got expired after a long uptime before
Then according to https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/field-notices/639/fn63942.html
You can use command as in : ap cert-expiry-ignore {mic|ssc} enable
You don't have these commands available in 8.0

Hi,
Certificate issues? Are you able to connect to the AP serial console and check messages?

OK, let's start from the easiest point... Do you have a physical view to you AP that did not join? Any led indication (on or off
Are these APs connected to the same network switch as working ones?

Thanks, All shows Staedy Green and and connected different cisco switches (so every switch first 4 port configured for APs). So 2 working one same switch other different switch. And also my understanding at the same 1.switch 4 APs connected 2 works/joined 2 not, 2.switch 4 APs connected 1 works/joined 3 not, 3.swithc 2 APs connected 1 works/joined 1 not, and rest of them shows with green lights not joined except 2APs "AP Name" shows N/A at the WLC web loging page.(After tried Reset - disconnect AP from power (PoE) press and hold 'mode' button while reconnect - hold mode button until LED turns continuous red). Thank you so much.

Hi,
It sounds like the issue may be related to the APs not being able to reconnect to the WLC after the power cut. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:
Check Network Connectivity: Ensure that the network connection between the APs and the WLC is intact. Verify that the APs have IP connectivity to the WLC.
Power Cycle the APs: Try restarting the APs that did not rejoin the WLC. Sometimes a simple reboot can help them reconnect.
Verify AP Configurations: Make sure that the APs have the correct configuration settings (e.g., SSID, security settings, and network settings) to connect to the WLC.
Check WLC Logs: Review the WLC logs for any errors or messages related to the APs that are not joining. This can provide clues as to what might be causing the issue.
Compare Working and Non-Working APs: Since some APs are joining the WLC, compare the settings and statuses of the working APs with those that are not to identify any discrepancies.
If the issue persists, you might want to check if there's a firmware update available for the APs or WLC, or contact support for further assistance.
