Tried connecting into the web interface and it states it cannot connect to the inventory server. I see the service is stopped and when I try to start it, it fails. Error message in event log: The VMware vCenter Inventory Service service terminated with service-specific error Incorrect function..
I have rebooted the server and had the same issue. I have a backup of the SQL/server but I have never ran the backup.bat as referred to in here: VMware KB: vCenter Inventory Service fails to start and cannot back up the Inventory Service database
I cannot seem to find a great article on what will be impacted by resetting the service fresh?
