Part way into a vCenter 5.1 clean instal into SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard on a W2K8 R2 VM. All gone ok with SSO but vCenter itself fails with the ODBC connection. It was working so don't know if I've doome something. Am I right to be using the vpxuser account for the ODBC? I've had to bomb out part way through so will have to continue Monday - we have a powerdown this weekend.
vpxuser is set as db_owner as per the VM docs, I've been through it a dozen times resetting the permissions and so on. or should I be iusing the sqldb user? That doesn't work either, btw. it's been years since I did any of this with SQL Server - I'm normally a MySQL man. I need this up and running on Monday so may have a go on my home lab over the weekend. I can't use domain accounts for internal reasons.
