Hi,

see VMware KB: Installing vCenter Server 5.5 best practices

Installing vCenter on a Domain Controller is not supported

Thanks for the information Tim.

I already performed the installation over a new VM without the Active Directory installed on it and now I can continue with the installation!

Unsupported, but it works.
