Brand new install of VC on a brand new Intel 5000 va server running Windows 2K3 R2 Standard. The only thing running on the box is VC - no antivirus. Each time when we reboot the hardware the Virtual Center Service fails to start. It is set to use the system account and to automatic. If we go to the services applet and start it, does not start. . Event Viewer just gives very generic failed to start error message. Before I take screenshots and go through that effort - anyone seen this before?

The other thing is if i re-install vc it starts the service again, but after restart it just does not want to start again, ive tried all my own setups, using sql 2005 sp2, that i used in the passed that worked.

Stumped know.
