I am trying to install the first vCenter server in our organization and it keeps failing with the error "Could not contact Lookup Service. Please check VM_ssoreg.log in system temporary folder for details". I checked the system temporary folder and there is no such file that is created but there was one called vminst.log. In the file I found the following but I am unable to figure out how to resolve the problem:
VMware VirtualCenter-build-1123961: 08/07/13 08:40:03 Please see vm_ssoreg.log in system temporary folder
VMware VirtualCenter-build-1123961: 08/07/13 08:40:03 SSO registration tool failed with return code 2
VMware VirtualCenter-build-1123961: 08/07/13 08:40:03 Getting Property UILevel = 5
VMware VirtualCenter-build-1123961: 08/07/13 08:40:03 Getting Property ProductName = VMware vCenter Server
I am trying to install on Server 2008R2 STD 64 BIT, and have done the following to try a debug the problem:
1. Server is part of Active Directory and the FQDN can be successfully resolved using nslookup.
2. Server time is correct.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
