Cannot establish a secure connection to the host

The above message shows when I try to start a console connection of the VM in an ESXi server.

If I use the vSphere client to connect directly to the ESXi server and to start the VM - no problem.

If I try to power-up the VM from the vCenter - than I'm getting "cannot establish a secure connection".

This is a brand new installation for evaluation purpose - so the system is clean. I have tried re-creating the dataCenter, the VM. Cahnged security settings but so far nothing helped.

I'd like to know if  someone has an idea how to solve this issue?

Thanks,

Eran

This may be DNS related. Try this steps: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/749640

Be sure all DNS entries are OK on your vcenter and ESX host.
