Chetan72 Nov 13, 2014 10:35 PM (in response to vThinkBeyondVM)Thanks a lot for advice. I believe the problem is that I have a stand alone PC with Domain controller.
I am getting a message stating that VCenter cannot be installed on a Domain Controller.
do I ensure the system is not Domain controlled?

Alistar Nov 13, 2014 10:44 PM (in response to Chetan72)vCenter must not be built on a DC - this is by design to ensure minimum attack surface and vCenter downtime issues - you must build another machine that will run vCenter which will be joined to this domain..

Below is the statement given in below KB. KB is must read at-least once to understand best practices.
Verify that the system on which you are installing vCenter Server is not an Active Directory domain controller.
Refer: VMware KB: Installing vCenter Server 5.5 best practices
