Hey guys,
new to this whole VMware environment.
I am in the process of installing Win Server 2012 and in order to get it installed I understand I need to update my VMware from its current 5.0.0-455964 version that I have to the latest. I was hoping this would be accomplished by accessing the VMware vCenter Server Appliance in the section "Update". But when I hit the "check updates" I get a:
Failed to check for updates (Error contacting update server. Please check network configuration. Couldn't resolve host 'vapp-updates.vmware.com' URL: http://vapp-updates.vmware.com/vai-catalog/valm/vmw/8e70f769-fd50-4a7a-bee2-2c0d945e23b0/5.0.0.3324.latest/manifest/manifest-latest.xml) on Friday, June 20, 2014 3:02:21 PM GMT-04:00
Error...
So I am trying to figure out how to prompt it to get the right (current) URL to check and successfully FIND an update. And hopefully install it...
Is this a DNS issue perhaps? If so, I have not found a place to input the DNS. Must be outside the Server Appliance?
Can you help? Let me know what else I may need to provide you guys to get somewhere with my issue 
Thanks
