Re: vCenter inventory missing using web client?

That was it! Thank you so much! It looks like this problem was two-fold.

1. When I installed the Inventory Service on the vCenter server, the software got installed but the windows service "VMware Inventory Service" was never installed/registered. I had to remove and reinstall the Inventory Service.

2. When I reinstalled the Inventory Service, I followed the steps to reregister the Inventory Service to the SSO but I forgot to register it with the vCenter Server. I followed these steps. These were pulled directly from the VMware KB:

To reregister vCenter Server with the Inventory Service:

1. Open a command prompt.
2. Change directory to:
   C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\VirtualCenter Server\isregtool
   Note: If you installed the vCenter Inventory Service in a location other than the default C:\Program Files\, adjust the path.
3. Run the register-is.bat command to update the stored configuration information of the Inventory Service:
   register-is.bat vCenter_Server_URL Inventory_Service_URL Lookup_Service_URL
4. Use this example as a model:
   register-is.bat https://machinename.corp.com:443/sdkhttps://machinename.corp.com:10443https://machinename.corp.com:7444/lookupservice/sdk
