Hi
So am automating the vCenter Server 6 U2 install via SCCM.
My scripts are working (everything is installed correctly) if I run them interactively, either with a domain account or via psexec as SYSTEM (to emulate SCCM).
When I run through the task sequence, my install fails at the very last step, and my vminst.log says this:
File "C:\Program Files\VMwrae\vCenter Server\python\lib\site-packages\adodbapi\adodbapi.py", line 298, in connect raise interFaceError #Probably COM ERROR
E: RunFirstLastUpdateBoot: failed to run boot script
Operation on vcsservicemanager.msi appears to have failed: 1603
Error Message: installation of component VCSServiceManager failed with error code '1603'
The Programdata\VMware\vCenterServer\logs\firstboot\dbconfig_firstboot.py_xxxx_stdout.log says this:
get_portnum.mssql.py
id: install.ciscommon.command.errinvoke
localized: An error occurred while invoking external command
raiseInterfaceerror #Probably COM Error\r\nnadodbapi.adodbapi.InterFaceError
Notes:
As far as I can tell this is not related to any of these KBs: kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2127284
The host has .NET 3.5, 4.0 and 4.5 (so this is not related to KB 2127519)
The database user is sysadmin (so this is not related to KB 2119768)
The DSN does not have a trailing space (so this is not related to KB (so this is not related to KB 2113068)
Thanks for any advice.
