I have been trying to get my security server up and running for 2 days now and keep running into a brick wall. I continually receive the following error:
Error 28083. IPsec setup failed. Please refer to the C:\users\...\...\vminst.log file for further details. The log reveals "Error: Failed to get a successful response from the connection server after IPsec Setup"
In an effort to resolve the issue i have allowed the Windows Firewall on both the Security Server and the Connection Server to allow all inbound connections.
I have verified that all Back-End firewall configurations are correct and functioning as required.
I have scrolled through http://communities.vmware.com/thread/405121?start=15&tstart=0 and performed the recommended changes within that thread.
When I completely remove all GPO's from the Connection Server, I am able to then successfully create the pairing between the Security Server and the Connection Server.
Most people would say well it's a GPO setting start walking through them. Well I have several GPO's that are applied in order to be STIG compliant.
What I'm looking for is, can someone please point me in the right direction as to what settings could possibly affect the IPsec communication between the 2 boxes?
Thanks for the assistance.
