Hrm. Must have done something wrong. I found my 2.5 Update 4 installation media, and ran the Update Manager install from there. I created a new database, and a new login, and configured the DSN, all according to the Update Manager installation PDF. It all seemed to work. The "Test Connection" was successful. I then saw the plugin available in the VI Client (yay!), downloaded it, and told it to enable. And then it says: The VMware Update Manager cannot accept requests now because VirtualCenter server cannot be reached, or the database cannot be reached, or it is in the process of stopping Obviously, it can reach the VCenter. The Update Manager service says "Started". So that only leaves me with database can not be reached ... I created the SQL user as "domain/loginname", gave it "public" and "db_owner" for the "VMwareUpdateManager" DB I created. Has the same 2 rights for the msdb DB (under "User Mapping"). Dunno where I went wrong, or where to go from here ... ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
