Hi All,

I m new here and need communities help. I have detached the VC 2.5 server from a MS AD domain (abc.com) and joined to a new domain (mydom.com). I found my

configuration on the license server FQDN (Configuration tab > Licensed Features) is different from the configuration on (Administration > license

tab>VirtualCenterLicense source). The FQDN configuration on (Administration > license tab>VirtualCenterLicense source) is using the OLD domain (abc.com). What file

that i should edit on ESX server in order to have the new FQDN setting (mydom.com)?

P/S: I have check the DNS server, all records for that VC is changed from abc.com to mydom.com

I assume you tried stopping/starting the License Server service already and that didn't help? You could probably just uninstall and reinstall the License Server on the same server and point back to the same license file. That might be the fastest solution to sovle the problem..

Hi

You could try this
  • open license server tool >> System settings >> check Include domain >> specify the new domain >> restart service.

Hope this helps
