Hi All,
I am using vCenter 5.0 to manage a 2 hosts deployment. This infrastructure was deployed by someone else and i recently started looking after it. A few days ago i noticed that vCenter machine also holds the roles of ADDS and LDS, which i removed without looking into detail if its got to do anything with vCenter or not (my mistake..)and after that vCenter server service is unable to start, stating "Windows could not start VMware Virtual center Server on Local computer. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 2".
Here is some information of infrastructure:
vCenter is running on a physical machine on Server 2008 R2.
ESXi 5.0 is running on 2 Hosts managed by vCenter
ADDS and LDS roles were installed on vCenter machine, but it was not registered as a DC in our network.
Can anyone advise what has gone wrong and how can i fix it..?
Regards,
Owais
