Hi theire,

so if you're able to get on RDP, i guess you're connecting from differently Network getting Problem talking over https.

could you try out to make a telnet port 443 to esxi ip and vcenter ip?

Also good to check the vpx log once trying to connect . theire you see Info what Reason about.

My experience says we have to reboot the Host to recover from that situation when your host is not responding at all, you can confirm that by connecting host via DCUI.  If host is responding from DCUI then you can troubleshoot the issue from there ( issue could be issues mgmt agent not responding etc.)

If you need to reboot the host to recover note that you have to gracefully shut down all vm's running in that host.

While he can remote access the VMs, it's better if he can shut them off from the guest OS.
