Cant login dashboard

i setup and install  3 computers and i can access launchpad and dashboard with no problem. i come back to work next to install to another computer typed “server-name/connect” downloaded the file and install, then receive unexpected error… then i try to go to the computer that i used to set up the dx4000 and try to connect to dashboard and receive this message:
“Windows Server Storage 2008 R2 Dashboard… Unable to connect to your server, Please make sure that; 1. You have network connectivity on this computer., 2. Your server is powered on and is connected to the network”.
Everything is connected properly. i can access launchpad even the shared folder form the server. but not the dashboard and cannot install it on other computer. what should i do?

btw. im using windows 8 and win 7 OS

From a client, can you ping the server by name?  Any Alerts on the server?  Restart the server?

yes i can ping, and i reset the server couple of times and waited for  the verifiying to finish, but still having this problem.

btw error message on the LCD is ethernet 2 disconnected. i just try how it work when i connect it in 2 routers. then i disconnected it the day im installing but never have this problem now

Was the other router a diff IP subnet?  You are sure you can ping the server by name, not just by IP? 

look in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Server\Logs for computerconector.log  (It is a hidden folder on your desktop)  On one that fails to install

Anything noteworthy in there?

This is whats in the log

 and yes i can ping both server name and ip address. is there a way to reset to factory default dx4000? it gimes me tons of headache already :stuck_out_tongue:

yes, the download is here.  It is almost 7gb so it takes a while

That log loks fine.  There is a clientdeploy log also if you want to look, or just do a reset and satrt over :slight_smile:

if i restore the unit and if i reinstall, would it ask me again to fill up new server name? and what causes this case that i cannot logon on my dashboard even install to some of a client computer? i been working this for like 4 days now :stuck_out_tongue:

here is the client deploy with error

Look like a cert mismatch

These say sbs 2011 and whs 2011, but all 3 are the same codebase including WSSE

or a setting for the app pool
