Vsphere Client and Windows 10

[Fabian201110141]

Hello,

I just upgrade my admin PC to Windows 10 and since, I can launch it but I can't connect to Vcenter : Unable to create a secure channel SSL/TLS

I tried compatibility mode Windows XP/7/8 with the same result.

For information : ESX version and Client 4.1

Please check vpxc.log file for "Win32 Certification error.."

Hello Kaustubhambulkar,

sorry but I didn't manage to find any vpxc.log on my computer.

In my user profile, in found "viclient-xxxx.log" with the following message :

Direct connection to an ESX runs correctely but the connection to Vcenter fails.

Hi,

Please disable the windows 10 firewall services and check.

Thanks

[Fabian201110141]

Ok, I tried with Firewall disabled and with Firewall enabled and allowing in and out connection and that does not change anything.

[Fabian201110141]

I tried with another computer with Windows 10 and I encountered the same issue.

HI

can u try this once

1.Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86):

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5638

2.Re-register Microsoft foundation class in administrative command prompt:

regsvr32 mfc90.dll

[Fabian201110141]

Ok, I Re-instelled Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) but the command "regsvr32 mfc90.dll" produce an error message "Failed to load the module mfc90.dll ... the specified module could not be found"

However, mfc90.dll is present in WinSxS folder...but only in this one.

In fact, I think viclient fails during the first step : Certificat exchange. If I try to connect directely to an ESX, I firstly obtain this window :

If I click on "Ignore", I manage to connect correctly but if I click on "Cancel", I obtain the same error message "Enable to create a secure channel SSL/TLS". Then, with connection to Vcenter, the issue is that I don't get this first certificate window, and then I can't Ignore or Install the certificat.

[Fabian201110141]

I tried with viclient 5.5 with the same result ... strange

Exactly the same problem after upgrading from Windows 8 (64-bit) to Windows 10 Pro (64-bit).  I can successfully connect to ESXi hosts but not the vCenter (SSL/TLS connection error).  Also lost my "ctrl+alt+ins" operation but that may be something else.  Looks like I'm part of the Research and Development team again.

Maybe this picture will help somehow:

[Fabian201110141]

Yes, it's exactly the error mesage I get but I don't understand why ...?

[acorrilo]

Anyone every get results from this? All I got from vmware support is the "Well its windows 10 and not supported, ergo, we cant help you"...

[balarajugopinat]

This should get you started: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh506443.aspxhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh506443.aspx

[Fabian201110141]

In my computer Framework 3.5 is installed and well enabled but always the same issue.

I suppose we have to wait that Vmware consent to create a patch ...

[ChetFarmer]

Did you ever get an answer here? I'm also using older VMWare tools, and I can't connect to my VCenter from my new Win10 machine.

It DOES still work from my Win8 machine, just as you describe.

My issue started after I changed my SSL and Cipher Suite acceptance policy using IISCrypto tool. I used "Best Practices" option to ensure that my system only accepts good cipher suites and protocols.

Later, I realized that I can not connect to ESXi Host.

Then I checked "MD5", "SHA" check boxes under Hashes section and restarted my computer. After the restart, I was able to connect to ESXi host through VSphere Desktop Client. Hope It helps everyone.

The versions you referred to appear to not be supported with Windows 10. I wouldn't be surprised if the problem is due to the OS compatibility: VMware Knowledge Base
