Problem with vCenter 5.1(W2K8) & SSO without AD

$

Hi all,

 

I am having problems with my first experiences with vC 5.1 / SSO. I have a vm running W2K8 + DNS but no AD. That's what I want and need. 5.0 had no problem with this but with 5.1 I cannot get all working.

 

Installation of SSO, Inventory service and vC (all 5.1) all work fine and all associated services start. However, when I then restart the vm, the vC service will not start, all other services start just fine but not vC. It started during the install runtime session, but not after a vm restart. Default install options of using SQL Express dbs for SSO and vC were taken.

 

vpxd.log has a relevant error of:

“Failure while trying to connect to SSO Admin server: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it”.

 

DNS is fine, forwards and backwards. Despite the warning (attachment), SSO is happy to install without AD present.

 

I do not understand why vC would run post install but then fail to start post reboot.

 

Surely vC (Win) 5.1 does not have to be in an AD domain?

 

What am I missing?

 

Thanks and Regards,

JohnB
