If you log on to the Windows server running vCenter via RDP

1) Are all the services started?

2) Can you connect using a local install of vSphere client?

[water270]

Hi,

This clearly looks like an issue with your existing vCenter server installation.

I'd probably recommend creating a new post with this as we have detracted quite far from deleting snapshots from a VM.

Make sure you include the vCenter logs from %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\Logs\   (Specifically vpxd.log)

As this will help us troubleshoot the issue.
