Hello, So i have a test setup of SCSM working great.  i just stood up Orchestrator and all appears to be running well.  I can hit both web pages on the local host (console and web service).  The web service comes up as an xml file in IE.  

When i try to set up the connector in SCSM though, i get the following:

Date: 9/1/2015 2:53:23 PM
Application: System Center Service Manager
Application Version: 7.5.3079.442
Severity: Error
Message: Could not connect to the Orchestrator web service.

System.ArgumentException: Expected an absolute, well formed http URL without a query or fragment.
Parameter name: serviceRoot
   at System.Data.Services.Client.DataServiceContext..ctor(Uri serviceRoot)
   at Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ServiceManager.Connectors.SCO.OrchestratorContext..ctor(Uri serviceRoot)
   at Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ServiceManager.Sdk.Connectors.GetSCOContext.PerformAction(String user, String domain, String password)
   at Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ServiceManager.Sdk.Connectors.SCCMConnector.ImpersonateAndPerform(ImpersonationActivity activity, String domain, String user, SecureString sccmPassword)
   at Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ServiceManager.Sdk.Connectors.OrchestratorConnector.GetSCOContext(String webServiceUrl, String sccmDomain, String sccmUserName, SecureString sccmPassword)
   at Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ServiceManager.UI.Administration.Connectors.Orchestrator.OrchestratorConnectorHelper.ValidateServerConnection(Boolean found)

I have made sure that the site is using the proper App pool, double checked database permissions for orchestrator which are set higher than they need to be, but still no dice.  Has anyone else run into this error, or suggestions on what could be wrong? 

Thanks! 

Both SCSM management and orchestrator are running on same server?

The connector requires the full URL, port and all, to connect.

Example:

http://scorchServer:81/orchestrator2012/orchestrator.svc

And for the Web Console:

http://scorchServer:82

no, they are on separate servers.  both have firewalls disables, same with SQL servers.   i can also hit the orchestrator web service site from a different PC.  

yes, that is the URL that i am using.  

Have you tried it with your domain info in the URL?

http://sorchserver.yourdomain.com:81/orchestrator2012/orchestrator.svc

yes, same error when using FQDN.

Does the the web service return anything when accessing it with IE from your SCSM management server?

i get the same XML page.  just rebooted the orchestrator server as i saw there were pending updates, and now it is working.  Thanks for all the suggestions!
