We have an ESXi5.5 environment and I have been tasked with changing the password for the Active Directory account that is used to run the VMware VirtualCenter Server Service.
There is a Data Source configured for a separate MS-SQL Server which is configured to use Windows Authentication
I have located the KB Article VMware KB: Changing the vCenter Server database user ID and password
On the key: KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc.\VMware VirtualCenter\DB The values for 2 and 3 are blank
It is not entirely clear to me if the vpxd.exe -p command is required with our environment (AD service account and Windows Authentication) or if that is only if SQL Authentication is set on the Data Source - would anybody have experience of this change and be able to clarify for me?
thanks
