Error 25003. Setup failed to create the vCenter Server repository

http://www.vmware.com/support/vsphere4/doc/vsp_esxi40_vc40_rel_notes.html

  • vCenter Server installation on Windows Server 2008 with a remote SQL Server database fails in some circumstances
    If you install vCenter Server on Windows 2008, using a remote SQL Server database with Windows authentication for SQL Server, and a domain user for the DSN that is different from the vCenter Server system login, the installation does not proceed and the installer displays the following error message:
    25003.Setup failed to create the vCenter repository.
    Workaround: In these circumstances, use the same login credentials for vCenter Server and for the SQL Server DSN.

      Good work, It works for me using domain account but if I make the
      VCenter installation and DSN using a local account named "VCenter\vcuser", and sql server also has a local account named "SQlServer\vcuser" (both with same passowrd) with its sql Login, it doesn't work for me. I also get 25003 Error.

      Nevertheless if I use domain accounts all works fine, but I want to user local accounts not domain accounts. Any idea or suggestion?

      Thanks
