Hi,

This command wont work on ESXi, you would have to try # services.sh restart.

Hi,

Thank you for the quick reply,

It worked for me, but there is a problem,

It fixed the problem but after 20 minutes it came back again with the following error again,

"Can not synchrinise host "hostname" .Operation timed out"

I ran the command ,it was fixed for 20 minutes but the error came back again.

Any idea please?

I ca provide you any log if needed.

Thank you
