Hi Guys, I've got vCenter 4.1 and SQL 2008 R2 installed on the same Windows 2008 R2 host. My issue is that the vCenter Service fails to start upon reboot. I can start the service manually, but it will not start automatically upon reboot of the server. I have created dependences on the vCenter Service for MSSQLSERVER and ADAM_VMwareVCMSDS but this has made no difference. SQL starts fine, as does Update Manager, but vCenter does not. I've delayed the start-up of the service but this makes no difference. My ODBC links are OK as I can start the service manually once the host has booted up. Here are the extracts from my log files... Section for VMware VirtualCenter, pid=2920, version=4.1.0, build=build-258902, option=Release Current working directory: C:\Windows\system32 Log path: C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\Logs Initializing SSL Using system libcrypto, version 9080CF Vmacore::InitSSL: doVersionCheck = true, handshakeTimeoutUs = 120000000 Starting VMware VirtualCenter 4.1.0 build-258902 Log directory: C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\VMwarevpx.

Forcing shutdown of VMware VirtualCenter now Any help or advice would be great! Thank you... Regards, BlackMesa
