Deployment Solution and Virtual Center 2.0.x

When you want to add a virtual center server to the Altiris Deployment console, you previously would just need the hostname and authentication settings for the virtual center server. As long as you installed the Web Service component in Virtual Center 1.x everything worked just right.

With Virtual Center 2.x, this web service is now more embedded into the product, and using a different default port, 443 instead of 8443.

When connection to Virtual Center from deployment console, make sure to use port 443. You can change the port in the configuration of the VI client.

Also make sure you select "Virtual Center 1.x compatible" under the Web Service options in the options screen of the VI client.
