Hello, relatively new user to Veeam BU here. I am trying to find the cause of the error below:
The login is to the vCenter Server. So is Veeam complaining about the certificate for the vCenter Server? Where do I start looking at this point, thanks.

The last time I have seen a similar error, the certificate was changed at the vCenter.

After executing this procedure the problem was solved in my environment.

Hi
Some great answers already, just my bit to add:
You can find if your certificates are expired by following this VMware KB article: Determining expired SSL certificates in vCenter Server and ESXi 6.x and 7.0.x (2015600) (vmware.com)
Otherwise it could be an issue with TLS version compatibility between your Veeam server and VMware, this would have likely been enforced by a GPO if so, so unless this is part of a large infrastructure where you’ve got a team that would do this, this one is unlikely.

These would be the best steps to perform as it typically fixes certificate issues in Veeam.

Actually you bring up a really good point here about TLS. We recently are upgrading vCloud and VMware but needed to upgrade our VBR servers as many were on Win2012R2 and after the VMware upgrades they were failing due to TLS so we move them to Win2019 ahead of any VMware upgrades since we set security on the VMware stack.
Thank you all! I remembered something recently and rifled thorugh my emails for an email from my boss about certificates. Sure enough a few weeks ago he renewed the vCenter certificate. I found a discussion on this site that said “go to Backup Infrastructure, select the Vcenter Server, click through the dialogs and click finish. Looks like Inventory now shows all the vm’s. Not exactly sure I saw all of them before.
Thank you!
