1. Wrong:
In the slide notes, the unordered list item "SYSTEM account or user-specified account", which states the vCenter Server service account requirements, is incomplete.
Even if you do not use Windows authentication for SQL Server, you might want to set up a local user-specified account for vCenter Server. The only requirement is that the user-specified account must be an administrator on the local machine.1. Correct:
Actually, the domain user account permissions pre-requisites are three:
- Member of the Administrators group.
- Act as part of the operating system.
- Log on as a service.
