Hi,

This morning I tried to connect using the VI Client and received the above message. I logged onto the Virtual Center Server and tried running the client from there and still the above resulted.

I have rebooted the server several times, uninstalled the MSDE instance, and uninstalled Virtual Center and the client and reinstalled them all again. Still I get the above.

Only thing I can see that has changed is a Windows Server Security update that caused a reboot at 0300 this morning. I have also uninstalled this update and tried again.

The setup we have is a 14 blade enclosure running ESX 3.0.2 and a separate set of 2 hosts running 3.5.0 update 1. The virtual center server (2.5) is a separate physical server running Windows Server 2003 with SP2. We are using MSDE 2005 as the Database.

After installing VirtualCenter on my desk PC (XP Pro SP3) I was able to add hosts and view the virtual machines. Ironically I was using the license server on the original server to license this.

Any help would be greatfully received.

Thanks,

Dan
