Hi,
I've got Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials. It installs by default with the domain controller ready to go. vCenter doesn't want that, so I've followed MS instructions to demote a domain controller, and when all is said and done, I *almost* get vCenter installed, but it errors out when installing the default SQL Express instance. This is most likely due to a permissions issue with either : (my guess):
1. the remaining Administrator user login (after the DC demotion) not having rights to do something
or
2. the windows system account not having rights to do something on behalf of the SQL install.
Has anyone solved this, and could share the steps to get this done?
tnx
