Installing Vcenter on Win2k8 R2 Enterprise in workstation

Hi guys,.

I am trying to configure Vcenter on my laptop at home for study purposes;

I have ESXi works well, so my cpu HW is very well that works a treat.

Now, I've built a Win2k8 64 bit R2 Enterprise Server (2 GB of RAM a lot of drive).

I did the server a Principal to the AD domain controller, however;

When I try and install Vcenter he tells me that the product cannot be installed on a 64-bit operating system?

Please find below the screen to confirm the error and operating system settings.

Any help or advice appreciated.

Thank you

Scott

Hello.

You cannot install the vCenter on a system that is also a domain controller.  That's the problem.

Good luck!

  • Do not know where to install vCenter - VMs are domain controllers

    We have a small network with two physical servers, running two virtual machines. I'm unable to install vCenter on these, because an error is thrown that vCenter cannot be installed on a domain controller. I have a workstation is just used to manage the virtual machines and have the vSphere client installed in addition to vRanger Pro connection. The problem with installing vCenter on this machine is vRanger connection vCenter recommends NOT to be installed on the same system. All other systems on the network are workstations that have connected users throughout the day. Y at - it an option that I'm on?

    Thank you

    Perhaps the simplest is to set up an additional VM on which you are installing vCenter Server. Since the VMware version 5.0 introduced the vCenter Server Appliance that eliminates the need for an additional Windows license. However, as I know the vCenter Server Appliance is not supported by vRanger connection again!

    Thank you very much

    Welcome to the community,

    in order to evaluate the vCenter appliance in VMware Workstation, you must edit the .vmx file before you turn on/off the imported image.

    Make sure that close the virtual machine tab (or VMware Workstation) prior to the amendment of the .vmx file to ensure it is read again after the change!

  • Where to install Vcenter

    Hi all

    I was in charge of the implementation of a Dell VRTX (5u chassis consolidated with two blades, shared storage and internal switch servers). I installed two server ESXi blades, my question is where can I install vCenter and vSphere to get the operational environment?  Do I need another physical server for this?

    Any input would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Install ESXi vSphere on blades servers, connect to the ESXi vSphere using the vSphere Client (installed on your office desktop) and create a virtual machine for vCenter Server (Windows version) or deploy the vCenter Server Appliance.

    After install or deploy the vCenter, add the two ESXi vSphere vCenter... and depending on your edition of vSphere, create the cluster and configure HA/DRS.

    Since you have a small environment, you don't need an additional physical server just to use as the server vCenter.

  • Why MS SQL server is required for installing vcenter?

    Why MS SQL server is required for installing vcenter?

    You need a database to contain the vCenter Server information. It may be SQL/Oracle. By default, an installation of SQL Express happens if you do not want to install a complete SQL Server blown - it will have maximum but limits work for smaller infrastructure.

    Exact wording of the documentation:

    vCenter Server and vCenter Update Manager require databases to store and organize the data from the server.

    Each instance of vCenter server must have its own database. vCenter Server instances cannot share the same database schema. Several databases of vCenter Server can reside on the same database server, or they can be split between multiple database servers. Databases Oracle, who have the notion of schema objects, you can run several unique vCenter Server instances in a database server if you are the owner of a different pattern for each instance of vCenter server, or use a server of Oracle database dedicated for each instance of vCenter server.

    You don't need to install a new server database for the vCenter Server installation to work. During installation, you can point the vCenter Server system for the supported existing databases. vCenter Server supports IBM DB2, Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server databases. vCenter Update Manager supports Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server databases. For a list of supported database server versions, see the vSphere compatibility tables tohttp://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r40/vsp_compatibility_matrix.pdf on the VMware vSphere documentation Web site.

  • Installing vCenter 5.5 on a domain controller for Win2k12

    Hello everyone,

    I hope someone can help me with what I'm trying to do in my lab at home at little cost (laptop running nested esxi). As suggested by the topics, I try to install SSO, Web Client, the inventory Service and vCenter Server on a Win2k12 that will be a domain controller. What I've done so far (in addition to pull my hair):

    1. install and activate Win2k12

    2. install vCenter using Simple installation

    3. change ports for LDAP / SSL to 3899 and 6369 accordingly (instead of 389 year 636)

    4 adding roles DC, DHCP and DNS

    5 try to promote the domain controller in a new forest = FAILURE because the required ports are already in use, in particular send me questions is 88 port used by the kdc vmware service. As soon as I kill / uninstall VMware SSO, I can promote the server to a domain controller, but then I can not connect to vCenter more.

    Any idea / help will be very appreciated!
