New Install of VMware 7.02

I'm trying to do a fresh install of VMware and keep getting the error below. I've tried it with creating a vsan and then on another new server just creating a temp folder on one of the drives. I'm new to all this and any help would be appreciated.

Is that when installing ESXi or when trying to deploy the vCenter Server Appliance?

I had the same issue when attempting a fresh install of ESXi and vCentre 7.02.

The issue was missing reverse lookup PTR records.   

Make sure your FQDN is resolvable:

Thanks for that - I found the same. Even though you don't need to put in a FQDN it seems you do.. 🙂
