vCenter with and without Domain

VMware Gurus

If I install vCenter on a without domain joined machine (Using basic SQL express), and later join to domain,  will it break something?

Actually I have a machine ruining vcenter using SQL express with local Admin credentials. I want to join to domain.

If you are using a local account and this account remains in place, you should not have any issues.

This should still function - just make sure that the credentials on the connection are valid for the DB that you connect to.
