I realize that this was created over a year ago but I'd like to help out as much as possible.

We were seeing similar errors in our DR environment until I uninstalled GoToMYPC on our vCenter server. It's completely understood that GoToMYPC uses 80/443 and we all know how sensitive vCenter 2.5 and newer can be to those exact ports, however, the interesting point I'm trying to make is that GoToMYPC had been installed on our vCenter server for years, even when it was a Windows 2003 box and we were on a much earlier version of vCenter.

My theory is that vSphere 4.x is even more sensitive than ever when it comes to ports 80/443/503, and after upgrading to vSphere 4.1 U1, this problem showed up.

So to sum up, check for GoToMYPC or any other 3rd party software that may use those ports and remove them.

Cheers.
