VCenter Server 4.1

[OlivierTremolie]

Hi,

I've got a little problem : My Vcenter server was installed on a Windows server which is domain member "domain1.forest1".

The server change the domain and the forest. The new one is "domain2.forest2".

Now, I can't use "search inventory". A message tell me that it is impossible to be connected to the web service. Must I do something more after domain/forest migration ?

Thank you for your help,

Olivier

Yes ! When the server reboot, the service starts automaticly. The last time, i reboot the server check if all services are running and wait a night. The next day, the problem persists...

Can you try this :

1. From the vSphere Client, navigate to vCenter Server Settings > Advanced Settings .
2. Update these attributes with the correct FQDN of vCenter Server:
   
   VirtualCenter.VimApiUrl : https://<vCenter Server FQDN> :443/sdk
   VirtualCenter.VimWebServicesUrl : https://<vCenter Server FQDN>:8443/vws
   
   
   
3. Restart the VMware VirtualCenter Management Webservices service. For more information, see Stopping, starting, or restarting vCenter services (1003895) .

Hope it helps,
