The VMware VirtualCenter Server service stopped with the error service special 2 (0x2).

I tried all listed in other postings, but our VSphere 4 server resides on a SQL server server.

I tested the connection odbc with the SA password and it works, it rebooted several times now, tried to stop all services and bringing up one at a time, but whenever a dependency is not. I get this error in the system log, the VMware VirtualCenter Server service stopped with the error service special 2 (0x2).

And

VMware VirtualCenter Management Web Services service depends on the VMware VirtualCenter Server service which failed to start because of the following error:

The service has returned a service-specific error code.

Application log says this

The description for event ID 1000 from source VMware VirtualCenter Server can not be found. Either the component that triggers this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event is on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information has been included in the event:

Could not initialize the VMware VirtualCenter. Closing...

the message resource is present, but the message is not in the string/message table

I don't know how to fix it. It was working fine yesterday. Nothing has changed. Or has anyone experience this problem and have a solution?

see if that helps

  • Change the password for the Active Directory account that is running VMware VirtualCenter Server

    We have an ESXi5.5 environment and I was instructed to change the password of the Active Directory account is used to run the VMware VirtualCenter Server Service.

    There is a Data Source configured for a separate MS - SQL Server that is configured to use Windows authentication

    I find the Article KB KB VMware: changing the vCenter Server database user ID and password

    On the key: KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc., \VMware VirtualCenter\DB T HE for 2 and 3 values are empty

    It is not quite clear to me if the vpxd.exe Pei command is necessary for our environment (service AD account and Windows authentication) or if it is only if SQL authentication is defined on the Data Source - would anyone have experience with this change and be able to clarify for me?

    Thank you

    Yes you are right,

    but I would suggest to stop the services first before you do the activity, it can take the old password in a few times and lock the conduit to account

    2. once the password is updated, make sure that the login account is updated (is currently running services on the specified user account or local account?)

    If it runs using the specified account, you will need to updated and restart the services.

    3. make sure that the services are running fine and observe for a while, the user account must not get locked.

    Let me know if you have any other questions

  • The VMware Workstation Server service stopped with service specific error %-1.

    Hi, when I try to enable sharing in Workstation 8 GTR | Change | Preferences | Sharing virtual machines, I get an error Impossible to configure the workstation server. Check the event log, I found they were trying to start the VMware Workstation Server service that does not start (even when you try to start it manually) and the following error is recorded "the VMware Workstation Server service stopped with service specific error %-1." by the Service Control Manager. I found no additional cases related.

    I also tried to find a newspaper there instead of vmware, but neither found anything related; However I could have missed something.

    Thanks for all the ideas, what could be wrong and how to fix it.

    Hello

    I have Workstation 8.0.1 installed on two laptop computers each running Windows 7 SP1 x 64... the shared component of the virtual machine runs on one but not the other. On the machine that I have problems with I uninstalled Workstation and reinstalled - without success. What I ended up doing to replace the datastores.xml file in the Directory go (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\hostd) on the laptop with the problem with the file datastores.xml of the laptop that works - success! I knew that there was a problem with the file because I've been poking around and noticed that the datastores.xml file is not open for editing - it was corrupted.

    I have attached the file to this message.

    Change of the section at the location that you store your shared VM (be sure to not use a UNC, which breaks the service as well!).

    I hope this helps.
