vCenter Appliance rejecting logins

I am having an issue at a client site where the vCenter Appliance started rejecting logins.  Reboot it and everything is fine for a day.  Then rejecting logins again.  I looked at several KB articles but they seem to be related to older version as we are on 5.0.0.3324.  Any ideas?

If I can't get this solved I was thinking of just installing vCenter on a windows server.  They own the Essentials version of vShpere.  Is there any thing special I need to do to birth a vCenter on widnows and switch it over?

After searching and not finding answers.... I bagged the vCenter Appliance and went to the full version.   I also couldn't get the Hardware Sensors working.   That was the final straw.

I worked with VMware and they ended up just downloading the appliance and configuring the new appliance.  It was pretty ugly and I spent way more time than I could charge the client.  I have stopped doing the appliance on new installs as well becuase of this experience.
