Error - Connect-VIServer - Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel...

Any help that gets me logged into a vcenter server with powercli 10 is much appreciated!

I continue to get this error when trying to connect to my vcenter server.

Did you set the IngnoreInvalidCertificate setting to Ignore?

Do a Get-PowerCLIConfiguration.

If it says 'unset', do

Set-PowerCLIConfiguration -InvalidCertificateAction Ignore -Confirm:$false

This was it! Perfect!

Awesome thanks, this really helped me as well!

reminds me to always verify ssl certs are trusted or ignored and to use verbose when troubleshooting!

Hi LucD

It doesn't work for me.

Thank you.

Try setting the InvalidCertificate option to 'prompt', that way you see what is actually happening.

The SSL/TLS error could be caused by a discrepancy between the vCenter name you use on the Connect-VIServer and what is defined in the certificate.

Laos, a SSL/TLS error is not necessarily related to a certificate issue.

It could be that there is no matching TLS version between your station and the vCenter.

add -verbose and paste the output, it will give more info as to what's happening
