I’ve been able to use PSTools in the past without issue. Now I am trying to use it to connect to three different 2023 R2 sites. One of them will connect, two will not. I have tried with -ShowDialog, I have tried with -ServerAddress, IP address, FQDN, localhost, you name it. I’ve confirmed that all three sites are listening on port 80. The error is ServerNotFoundMIPException. Any ideas on what could be wrong here?
Also I just learned that the two sites in question have server certificates provided by our CA. I’ve tried connecting with -SecureOnly but still no luck, but it is probably related to this.
If this is going to work the XProtect must be connected in a way where you can reach it. Please verify that you from the same PC can use the Smart Client to connect. If you have the same issue when using Smart Client the issue is of a very general nature, you might even find that the XProtect isn’t reachable because of the network setup or similar.
I guess you are using - https://www.milestonepstools.com/commands/en-US/Connect-Vms/
My first idea is that when specifying the server address (in the dialog) it might not be ‘http://MyVMS’ but ‘https://MyVMS’ or even a different non-standard port which would look something like ‘https://MyVMS:x’
Your first idea was 100% correct, problem solved, thank you! I’ve been working with unsecure servers for so long I forgot to add the s for these few servers that are actually secure.
