Problem installing vSphere Web Client on Windows 8.1

Hello

I want to install VMware vSphere Web Client on Windows 8.1 to connect to a server ESXi vShpere. But I get an error message stating "the product cannot be installed on Windows XP SP2 and higher.

Well WIndows 8.1 is "WIndows XP SP2 that precedes" but its obviously not recognized as such.


Question: does anyone have a solution to overcome this defective version of the installer check?

cordially Edmond

Nothing in particular. Just thought while I reinstall my client pc to install the last managementoption of the ESXi server. And I thought that to be the webclient service.

Thanks for all the information. Super!

cordially Edmond

  • vCenter - vSphere Web Client problem

    Hello

    We have some problems with our Web Client vSphere. The vCenter 5.1 is installed on a Windows Server 2012, and you can connect to the Web Client.

    When you log on as "Administrator" (the Windows account) everything works fine, but when you use the admin@System-Domain account you can connect, but there is no display resources:

    No ESXi hosts, no VMs, no data warehouses, nothing.

    CU

    Well you would login to VC using the account administrator (via the web client), click on the Victoria Cross and select the permissions tab, and then add the admin@system-domain and assign the required permissions.

  • vRealize Orchestrator - cannot add to vSphere Web Client

    Hello

    I configured the device vRealize Orchestrator and added the vCenter Server to the server via the customer to vRO Orchestrator--> library and can successfully run workflows against objects in vCenter. Then vRO works.

    BUT

    The problem I have is that I can't seem to add the server vRO to vSphere Web Client. I do not see the plugin if and when I go to the Orchestrator plugin I see the vCenter Server in the "House of vCO' tab but"N/A"under"Managed by vCenter Orchestrator Server"." Under the "Lists" section it says "vCO servers: 0".» What Miss me?

    I tried to add the new server to vRO (device) by changing the vCenter object and enter the server IP new vRO. But "Test connection" fails every time.

    In addition, vCO has been installed with vCenter initially but never used and not yet used. But I don't think it would make a difference.

    I don't see the vCenter plugin tab in the left menu when connecting to vRO with the customer and com.vmware.vco isn't showing in /mob .

    Versions:

    vCenter: 5.5u2

    vRO: 6.0.3.0 build 3000579

    Thank you!

    Hello

    I'm a bit confused. It seems you are trying to use the two vCO 5.5.2 and vRO with VC 5.5.2 6.0.3, but plug-ins are different (they have different deployment mechanism, different extensions in MOB, etc.). I recommend you stick to the version of the vCO you got installed with VC - in this case, 5.5.2.

    Then, check the following:

    • Check that the vCO is configured with the SSO authentication, and it is the same instance used by VC/Web Client SSO
    • Check that this instance of vCenter is added as properly to vCO and there is an extension of 5.5.x - style into the CROWD. His name is com.vmware.orchestrator. [some-guid]
    • Check that the extension of the server property contains a record with URL property pointing to the server fine vCO - https:[vco-ip]:8281
    • Make sure that the user you are using to connect to the Web Client has a permission; for example. You should be able to connect to vCO Client Java with this user

    If the foregoing is valid, check the Web Client (vsphere_client_virgo.log) log file for any errors of loading of the vCO and connection at the vRO server plugin.

  • Unable to connect to vSphere Web Client using Firefox or Chrome on the server 2012R2

    I recently installed the web client of vsphere 5.1.0 on my 2K12R2 box.  I get questions that are well known and documented when I try to connect using IE11 (but note that I can always connect to the server vCenter). So I decided to try firefox and chrome.

    With Firefox, I just get a cannot connect error message - Firefox can't establish a connection with the serere to localhost:9443.  When I try Chrome I get "this webpage is not available" with IE it came with the problem with the security certificate, but if I continue I can enter.  Other browsers are set to use the system proxy settings, so I don't ' know what is happening.

    Help!

    Thank you

    Have you tried to set the proxy to 'No Proxy' settings?

    What the system proxy settings are currently configured (netsh winhttp, see the proxy)?

  • vSphere Web Client shows 0 vCenter server

    Hi all.  As a newbie, I am currently playing with vCenter 5.1.  I just vcenter Server 5.1 with all required components (SSO, Web Client Server, etc.) installed on a test server.  After installation, I am able to connect to SSO via vSphere Web Client using the admin@system-domain account.  I am able to create SSO users and assign permissions user SSO.  However, vCenter server list is empty, there is no vCenter server on this list, which should not be; See the attached screen shot.  This is why I'm not able to test other features of vCenter.  Is any one having the same number as I am?  It is a clean installation, running on a Windows 2008 R2 operating system.  Thank you.

    Salvation was,

    Go to your SSO Configuration and click your ad you have configured under the identity source.  To do like default domain by clicking on the symbol that looks like this

    Once that is done, try to connect with your AD administrator and see if the inventory is the filler.

    If it isn't yet, connect to vCenter using the vSphere client and click your object of vCenter, go to the permissions tab and add the authorization with your AD username and the role of the administrator. Now you should be able to connect with the AD user on the web client and the vCenter + inventory should appear.

    I would like to know if it works.

  • Cannot save vSphere Web Client after the replacement of the SSL certificate

    Hi all

    I have followed the Articles of Derek Seaman on the replacement of all the certificates in vSphere 5.1 and have since turned to the VMware KB Articles. I replaced the certificates for the SSO, the inventory Service and vCenter Server with no problems (other than having to use OpenSSL-Win64 for vCenter certificate that I could not get the x 86 version certificate of work, makes no sense, but I'll take the small victory).

    If you follow the guide of vmware to replace the web service certificate, http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & docTypeID = DT_KB_1_1 & externalId = 2035010, I get to step 12, enter the VMware vSphere Client Web back to vCenter Single Sign On and the following error:

    VMware technical support suggested I uninstall all components, delete all databases and try again. I have done this and have exactly the same result.

    Has anyone seen elsewhere or managed to solve?

    Chris

    So, I managed to solve this problem. Not sure that this applies to everyone, but my problem was caused by registering using among other names of the subject in the SSL certificate for the SSO rather than the common name of the certificate.

    For example, the server name is server1.company.com. It is the common name of the certificate. But one of SAN of the certificate has been "vSphere.company.com".  If I used this other name in one of the component records that they would fail. I found that I have to use the common name. Even if the alternative names of job access to via your browser web, there is no certificate warning, if the registration of components using these names, it would fail.

    It seems crazy that you can use any of the San... then why allow us to make?

    Initially, I tried to replace the authentication certificate ONLY when the town was called vsphere.company.com, rather than the hostname of the server, and which is installed. However, try to install the Web Client would fail. When you come to the step where you have to accept the certificate of SSO, the installation fails because the common name of the certificate does not have the host name of the SSO server. It seems insane to me... why the host name of the server running the SSO should still come in when all calls are over HTTPS is simply absurd!

    I confirmed this with VMware Technical Support and they checked my conclusions.

    Y at - it a bug or something else I can try?

    I just talked to Dell support on my problem and this is apparently a known issue with local Europe\UK.  The similarity of our problems might be useful - workaround for me was to settle the Locale\Regional from my PC, where I'm doing it in the United States.  Not the time zone or other settings, to control panel, then "Region and language", then on the first tab, 'Format' box should be set to "English (United States).  Close browsers, start again and it worked for me.

    Might be worth a try if you're not already in US format. (mine was in the United Kingdom).
