Vcenter server post-winupdate: one or more services failed to load

[JohnVUB]

Hi,

my vcenter server recently did some auto-updates from microsoft. Since that time the vcenter service fails to start pre-login.

When i log in to windows and start it manualy there is no problem. The log suggests that the mssql server service loads to late and vcenter tries to access it to soon.

What can I do to fix it?

A repair of the vcenter software did not fix the problem...

Thx

John

Hi John,

You can may be push the MSSQL service to start ahead of the vcenter service. Please check the link below to change the service startup sequence.
