Newly deployed PCNS OVF cannot authenticate to ESXi host

Anonymous user · ‎2021-06-28

Hello,

I have deployed the PCNS OVF to a VMWare ESXi 5.5 host. During the setup wizard, it had no complaints but now complains that it cannot talk to the ESXi host. When I try to change the password, it wants the current password, but nothing I type in there is working. I must have mistyped the original password during the wizard.

Is there anything I can do other than blowing away the VM and re-deploy?

Hi Bill,

Thanks for that, but it's not what I'm looking for. That KB article is about resetting the password to PCNS. I'm looking for a way to reset the password stored within PCNS that is wrong for a ESXi host it's supposed to connect to.
