I'm getting an error that says VIM_VDB is inaccessible under the current security context. It's running under the local system account - I believe it was installed with defaults. Would changing the service account work?
I've done quite a bit with SQL Server in the past but haven't used it for a few years and haven't used 2008 at all so memory isn't good here.
We haven't done a huge amount of configuration yet so would I be just as well to start again? It's our first foray with vCenter, we're going to upgrade to 5.1 and I'm just wondering if that would be a better route? Any caveats doing that - Certificates and so on?
<EDIT>
Fixed it - really simple!
Followed this thread: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlexpress/thread/2b34a7d7-bece-4b60-bf2d-bfcdd585b4e1/

Log in as single user mode, change DB permissions. Worked, have now backed it up.
Hope this helps someone else.
