I am having an issue with the Virtual Center Service on my server. This server is running Virtual Center as well as a local install of SQL Server 2005 EE with sp2. When you boot up the server I receive the following error.
"Description:
The description for Event ID ( 1000 ) in Source ( VMware VirtualCenter Server ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: Failed to initialize VMware VirtualCenter. Shutting down...."
If I manually start the service it works properly. It is also worth noting that prior to this error message I get a SQL Server Error stating that the SQL account used to access the VMWare Database failed. Based on the other SQL Server event entries I believe this is a case of SQL not starting up completely before Virtual Center tries to access the install. If this was the problem, I would think that the default service setting that tries to restart the service every 5 minutes would kick in. It is not.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
