      <title>VSphere client "internal error" when connecting to Vcenter 6.5</title>
      <link>https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-vCenter-Discussions/VSphere-client-quot-internal-error-quot-when-connecting-to/m-p/949512#M11990</link>
      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi all,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm really stumped by this error. I have a new install of VCenter 6.5 running on a Windows Server 2008 R2 VM. When trying to connect using local or AD authentication we get following error:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;"Object reference not set to an instance of an object"&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;See screenshot: &lt;A href="http://imgur.com/a/UUrYD"&gt;http://imgur.com/a/UUrYD&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Things I have tested:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Connecting to the Vcenter web interface works fine.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Connecting to the individual ESXi hosts with the Vsphere client client works fine.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Connecting to our other Vcenter servers works fine.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Connecting to the problematic Vcenter from different machines gives the same error. I tried using fresh Vsphere client installs on a Win 10 x64, Win 7 x64 and the localhost itself.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I tried reinstalling the Vcenter server.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I did a fresh install of the VM. It used to be a Windows Server 2012, I downgraded to 2008 for troubleshooting purposes.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I made sure .net 3.5.1 is installed.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I disabled the VM's firewall.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I checked if all the Vmware services were up and running.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;None of these steps made any difference. We are still getting the same error. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In the logfile I can see failed connection attempts on ports 6502 (Auto Deploy Management) and 7475 (Can't find this port in the VMware documentation). I checked the server's netstat output and do not see these two ports up.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm not sure this connection failure is causing the issue but I'm ready to try anything.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I've put my logfiles up on pastebin in case anyone feels like taking a look;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;summary log with the error: &lt;A href="http://pastebin.com/sjhrCcHf"&gt;http://pastebin.com/sjhrCcHf&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;vcclient log: &lt;A href="http://pastebin.com/5MhiEteq"&gt;http://pastebin.com/5MhiEteq&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks in advance for any suggestions! I really wanna get this fixed so I can continue with the good stuff!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
