IndigoTcpPort item value set to 1fa4 under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager Administrator Console\Settings.

If IndigoTcpPort’s type is different then REG_DWORD, delete existing item and create an new item with REG_DWORD type.

The new reg key worked and allowed communication over port 8100.

Note: The registry key must be present in all DDCs. Otherwise, it will create database inconsistencies and fail.
