On restart of Vcenter Server - Error 1053: The Service did not respond to the start or control

Hi all,

I could not use the vSphere Client to get into vCenter (from my desktop).

I could not Remote Desktop into the server that vCenter resides on.

I could go on to the console of the server that vCenter resides on. I could not use vSphere Client from there either.

I tried to restart vCenter and got this error message:

Could not stop the VMware VirtualCenter Server Service on the Local Computer.

Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control in a timely fashion.

Any ideas where to look for more clues or any ideas as to what could be the matter?

Thanks.

I could not Remote Desktop into the server that vCenter resides on.

This does not depend by vCenter Server.

Check Windows configuration.

Have you tried to reboot your vCenter Server system?
