Hi I am getting following error while installing Web Client :

Could not contact Lookup Service. Please check VM_ssoreg.log in system temporary folder for details. (Screen Shot attached)

My VSphere Lab Configration is as follow

DNS (Win 2008 Server Ent 64 Bit) : 192.168.136.6

SSO + Inv Service + VC Server (Win 2008 Server Ent 64 Bit) : 192.168.136.16

Web Client (Win 2008 Server Ent 64 Bit) : 192.168.136.8

I used this ISO to install : VMware-VIMSetup-all-5.1.0-880471

Please help.

Hi Arvind/Frank,

Sorry for the delay in response as I was busy with some other activities.

Thanks a lot guys for all your help.

I just restarted my whole lab. DNS, VC Server, SSO etc each and every thing and then started to reinstall WebClient, and I don't know why and how but it worked. I got my WebClient install today. But couldn't configure it due to time shortage. I will configure it tomorrow and update you if it works fine or not.

Anyway, thank you both for your concern.

Regards

Ashish Rawat

Hi Eathan,

Thank you very much for your concern.

I am using VCerver Simple Install, that installs vcserver, inventory service, SSO in a single go on same system.

When I restarted my whole lab, the problem got solved itself.

Thanks

Hi Guys,

I was doing the same installation on another server today morning and got same error again.

This time I found root cause. This was firewall that was blocking the SSO port, I forgot to turn off firewall while installation.

When I turned it off, Insllation begins smoothly.

Thanks

Ashish
