Problem upgrading to vCenterServer 5.0

[buckhill]

I'm ready to upgrade my VMware environment (Essentials package) to 5.0 from 4.0. Step one is to upgrade the vCenterServer, and that's the first point of failure.

My vCenterServer is a VM running Windows Server 2008 SP2. The VM's only function is to be the vCenter Server. I run the installer, and right off the bat it gives me a warning:
[quote]"This computer is a member of a domain, but no logon server can be found. Please ensure that the computer is correctly joined to a domain and that a domain controller is available before attempting the installation again."[/quote]

The computer [b]is[/b] a member of the domain, and the DC is available, so I'm not sure why I'm getting this message. I've re-booted, etc., with no luck getting past this message.

Is the DNS / WINS working correctly? Also does the FQDN resolve correct?

A potential solution would be to re-add your vCenter to the domain and try again

That did the trick! I deleted the VM from the DC's Actice Directory, flushed DNS on the VM, etc., and eventually got it re-added to the domain. Now I am able to proceed with the upgrade.

Thanks for the help!
