    <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi, I'm trying to build a Homelab using vSphere&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This is my configuration&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2 PC's,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;on the 1st I have installed ESXi 5.5 on a USB flash&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Xeon E3-1231 v3/16GB RAM/ GA-Z87X-D3H&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;320 GB Seagate ES used for Windows 8 system disk for using it as workstation only&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;128GB Samsung 840 Pro for storing VM&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1TB WD Red for storage&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Right now I'm using the SSD as storing template 2012 VM and the Red for storing the linked clones.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm planning to use another machine as vCenter Server installed on Win2012&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Right now it has E5200/4GB RAM/ASUS P5K-E Wifi&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Problem is that vcenter can't be installed on domain controller, so I will need another machine - physical or virtual to install the DC. I see that on DC I can't install vcenter? What can be a solution to this? Another physical computer, or vcenter on a VM inside physical host.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Open up a run box and type the following C:\&amp;lt;path to vcenter install files&amp;gt; /VSKIP_OS_CHECKS="1", that will allow you to install on a domain controller, however this is not recommended or idea.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The best solution would be to stand up another 2012VM on an ESXi host, add it to the domain with DNS and a static IP, and then install vcenter. Then on the host tabs configure the vCenter VM to start with the host under Host&amp;gt;Configurations&amp;gt;Virtual Machine Startup/Shutdown.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;OK, I've installed on 3 machines - on a laptop there is domain controller Win 2012 R2, On the E5200 there is vCenter Server which btw is running very slowly when I launch vSphere Web Client. And there are other including constant disconnections from vSphere host - I can't install Virtual Machines...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
