Firstly, while it's possible to install VCM on Windows Server 2012, it is not supported.  From the "Common Prerequisites for All VCM Servers" section of the Installation Guide (https://www.vmware.com/pdf/vcenter-configuration-manager-57-installation-guide.pdf), Windows Server 2008 R2 must be installed on the two servers.  SQL Server 2012 can be used on the DB server.  You're configuration is a two-tier installation.  To install VCM, it would require a domain user (an account that will be different from the one used for the VCM services) that is a member of the Local administrators group on both servers and has sysadmin privileges on the SQL DB.
