OK, that's the account I thought you recommended I log in with in your above post. Anyway, given my several posts & updates, any idea what I could do next?
The services are not starting. I'm OK with reinstalling vCenter, but not sure how to get back my inventory of VMs - what is the best course of action in your opinion?
When trying to start the virtual center service it stalls out with an event id 1000.
The description for Event ID 1000 from source VMware VirtualCenter Server cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:
Failed to intialize VMware VirtualCenter. Shutting down...
the message resource is present but the message is not found in the string/message table
Thanks
