Run vCenter 4 on a MS SQL 2005 Workgroup Edition server

[pcdoc]

Can I run vCenter on SQL Server 2005 Workgroup Edition? It's cheaper than Standard Edition. The compatibility guides don't mention anything about it, so I assume not.

Seems to be not supported.

This is what I figured, thank you!

Hello - we have it working with 2005 Workgroup.

No problem except that we had to reinstall the scheduled jobs to run in SQL Server Agent, as the scripts have a check to see if the agent is installed.
