New vSphere Windows 2008 R2 Server fails, the installation of the server with error 1920

Band new installation of Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 with all updates.

Try installing vSphere CU2 5.5 Server build 2183112.

Try the 'Easy install' or 'Custom Installation' I got the following error when the Single Sign-On is trying to settle.

"Error 1920. Service "VMware Directory Service" (VMWareDirectoryService) failed to start. Check that you have sufficient privileges to start system services. »

The event log shows this is not much help.

"VMware Directory Service service failed to start due to the following error:

Service has failed to demand launch or timely control.

I have re-uploaded the iso with the same result and even try to install CU1 but who also failed with the same error.

I tried http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2069695 with the same failed results.

Setup log is attached.

Problem has been fixed.

I hope this solution will help others also (perhaps through a keyword to Google/Bing search)

Have no Dell Host Integration Toolkit (I 4.7.1) installed when you perform an installation/upgrade of Single Sign-On. Once the VMWare software install then you can install the Dell Host Integration Toolkit.

According to VMWare Support, this is a known problem (internal documentation) and want to resolve it shortly.

  • Manager Update 4 will not scan or clean up the Windows 2008 R2 server

    I just install a Windows 2008 R2 server, and Update Manager will not analyze it.  It just says: "Failed to scan or clean up SERVERNAME because of operating system not supported or unknown.  I can scan and clean up my plain Windows 2008 servers very well.  R2 is still not supported?

    I do not remember R2 being in the list of supported operating systems, I believe that this is also the case for the 4.0u1 VUM or VUM 4.0u1.1

    You'll probably want to make sure that the release notes, but if the error message says that it is not taken in charge, probably only is not supported.

  • VMware Server on Windows 2008 R2 Server Core installation

    Hi guys!

    I installed the latest version of Vmware server on our new Windows 2008 R2 Server core installation, but I have a problem with it. When I create a virtual computer and try to start the Web UI:

    General system error occurred: unable to connect to the virtual machine

    Do you know something about the nature of this message? The Server service not had access to the possuble vitrual machine? But how can it create if it doesn't have access? I have not found the log files created in the folder of the virtual machine.

    Thank you for your help.

    Kind regards

    I think that Server Core is an unsupported operating system. Please take a look at http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmserver2.pdf (page 25)

    You need to install RAID drivers during the installation of 2008R2.

    1. Configure and initialize the RAID in the CTRL-M utility.
    2. Download and extract the drivers put on USB (or CD).
    3. Start on media 2008R2.
    4. On the screen that asks you where you want to install Windows, click on load a driver link at the bottom left.

  • Windows 2008 domain controller on the same square as field PC during startup? It work?

    I'm not much of a type of network, or windows 2008 Server Administrator and I would appreciate really any impressions that those of you who have more experience could offer.

    I expect to build a box of ESXi soon to help with my learning curve. I don't have a domain to my office at home now, but need to put in place (also the learning curve. It would be ideal that I have has no need to keep a windows 2008 running DC all the time, as they are in most workplaces. I was wondering if I install the domain controller and windows domain members 7 as vms on ESXi, the domain controller will be functional when starting up fast enough to be available to the virtual machines of windows 7 domain? I expect to turn off the machine when I'm not going to use it for say 3 hours. With my own pc I got it put "standby mode" a lot to save juice.

    But without expertise in windows 2008 as a controller with ESXi or field, it is hard for me to project if this type of plan will work, or if it will fall flat on its face. I'm having problems with the virtual machines windows 7 if the domain controller is hosted on the same instance of ESXi?

    That works perfectly.  Just make sure that once that ESXi is to start the virtual machine DC first and give him a few minutes to go before starting your Windows 7 virtual machine.

  • cloning of windows 2008 R2 Server without reactivation

    Hi all

    I'm trying to create an image of Windows 2008 R2 sysprepd using the vmware, but after cloning, I asks me to activate windows (I use a volume with a VL of Windows version license key). Initially, I turn it on but after cloning I have to reactivate. This occurs regardless if sysprep was run or not. Can someone point me in the right direction on how to fix this? I try to avoid reactivating Windows, so I don't have to start contacting Microsoft, after reaching the number of activations.

    I have not been able to locate a post with the same subject, however if there is one please let me know where to find it.

    Kind regards

  • Windows 2008 R2 server slow printing

    We have about 5-6 servers Windows 2008 R2 in our virtual machine environment.  All of these servers are servers very low utilization, and they all work very well.  We have a few domain controllers, a SQL box and a few boxes of web application that is running IIS.  One of these domain controllers is a print server.  The print server works well, but it is very slow.  If you right-click on any printer that is added to any of the customers and go to properties, where the server is the management of print server, the client must wait 30 seconds or more for the upcoming dialog with the properties.  You can click between tabs, but the legs are also slow to react.

    This means that if you make changes to the print job or the margins, for example, it may take a minute of waiting between screens.

    Now, we had a physical Windows 2000 print server that has worked well until we got the VM environment, so I know the problem is in one of a few different areas.

    1. it could be the VM environment.

    2. it may be Windows 2008 R2 server config or the server software itself.

    3 might be x 64 bit cause a problem with 32-bit clients using the box.

    I have excluded #3 by a 32 bit 2008 Server on the VM environment of loading, loading of print management and then by loading a single printer and share it.  The problem is still there on the current server.  My next step is to try Windows 2003 server in virtual machine environment, but before I do, I want to throw this question very curious to the VMWare community.  All I have to do before moving on to more drastic measures?  There must be something I can do to solve the problem.

    Maybe it's the solution.  Will test:

  • I have a ts 2008 license server with 90 per available user licenses (21 already issed). However, users get a message that says that there are no licenses available

    I have a ts 2008 license server with 90 per available user licenses (21 already issed). However, users get a message that says that there are no available licenses. The TS are iss device by installing licenses. Local group policy is not configured on each ts. The strange thing is that I can't find the option to license type within the domain group strategy, however, I suspect that this is the problem as when I go through the configuration in the RD Licensing Manager system indicates that the license server will be able to issue per user Cal. If anyone has had / overcome this problem I would be very gratefull to know the solution. Best regards Steve
