Hiya,

First of all, I would like to use this topic for experiences running vCenter 5.1 on Windows Server 2012. Hopefully I will manage to get this all running and others will find answers in this topic for installing it for theirselves.

OK, now further to my issue.
After migrating most of my testlab VMs to Windows Server 2012, it's time to migrate vCenter Server.
Currently, I have a freshly installed VM which will be my new vCenter Server.
Started with installing SSO using an existing DB (On a different VM, also Windows Server 2012 and SQL Server 2012).
Had a few hickups, but finally without any errors, the setup (SSO) continues. The thing is it hangs at 'Configuring SSO, this will take a few minutes'.
I see no activity at the vCenter VM, neither at the DB. It seems the setup hangs and concluding from the log, it just stops processing. I left the configuration run for about 3 hours without any luck. These are the last lines of the install.log (C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\SSOServer\utils\logs):

Hopefully someone else had a try as well!
Thanks for any replies!
