Then later it has been removed from that domain and joined to a different one. i.e. from "something.local" to "managed.something.com" As such VMware vSphere Update Manager has not https://www.vmadmin.co.uk/resources/41-vum/356-vumservernameerror been reconfigured as was not working correctly (even though the service was running), giving the following errors: In Plug-in manager: "Plug-in is unavailable for the following server(s) : server.something.local" A repeatedly displayed error dialog in vSphere client saying: "There was an error connecting to VMware vSphere Update Manager [server.managed.something.com]" and "The request failed because the server name 'server.something.local' could not be resolved" error connecting If you take a look at what the dialog is saying here..

Amend the several references to the incorrect server name and save the file. 6. To finish off you need to run a command to register the updated Update Manager extension details. Within E:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\Update Manager there is an excitable "vciInstallUtils.exe" which needs to be run. vciInstallUtils.exe --vc server.managed.something.com --port 80 -U domain\user -P secret -S extension.xml -C . -L . -O extupdate 7.
