Hi,
I needed to move the vCenter database from SQL Server 2008 R2 Express install locally on the vCenter server to a full SQL 2012 server. I moved it and followed the instructions in this VMware KB: Migrating the vCenter Server database from SQL Express to full SQL Server
When I start the vCenter service, I get this error in the vpxd log :
"2014-02-28T15:25:49.928-05:00 [03588 info 'Default'] Registry Item DB 5 value is '50'

Anyone have seen this kind of issue before?
Thank you.
