<div>
Do you need to enable it in windows features<br />
<br />
Go to add remove programs<br />
<br />
Turn windows features on or off and then tick it in there?
</div>


<div>
Okay, I think we need to look back at...<br />
<br />
1. version of Host OS (for VUM)<br />
2. version of vCenter Server<br />
3. ESXi versions<br />
4. version of vCenter Server ISO used.
</div>


<div>
I am using the vcenter 6.5 iso straight from myvmware.com <br />
<br />
I am running windows server 2008 R2 64bit<br />
<br />
vcenter is Version 6.5.0.10000 Build 6816762<br />
<br />
ESXi is 6.5
</div>


<div>
can I not use windows server 2008 r2 64bit anymore for VUM? &nbsp;this environment has never had it installed before but that sucks if I have to upgrade to 2012 R2 just to have VUM for vcenter 6.5 installed.
</div>


<div>
vCenter Server 6.5 (you don't state which version buth both U1 and U2) are compatible with Windows 2008 R2 64bit.<br />
<br />
let me check here...
</div>


<div>
You are using VMware vCenter Server 6.5 Update 1b
</div>


<div>
so you are using iso - VMware-VIM-all-6.5.0-68167<wbr />62.iso
</div>


<div>
So vCenter Server 6.5 U1 (Version 6.5.0.10000 Build 6816762) is installed on this Windows 2008 R2 Server.<br />
<br />
and now you've mounted the VMware-VIM-all-6.5.0-68167<wbr />62.iso<br />
<br />
and running the VUM install to also install on this server, because it was forgotten initially ?
</div>


<div>
No, it was never installed. &nbsp;I just started here on oct 24th and this has been on my list of things to do for awhile. &nbsp;This is the exact .Iso I am using VMware-VIM-all-6.5.0-94516<wbr />37.iso
</div>


<div>
that's the one I got from myvmware.com
</div>


<div>
should I be using VMware-VIM-all-6.5.0-68167<wbr />62.iso instead?
</div>


<div>
remove .net 4.7<br />
too many issues with 3rd party applications<br />
unless something specifically requires it, i wouldn't bother installing it
</div>


<div>
You should be using the ISO, which matches your version of vCenter Server installed.<br />
<br />
VMware-VIM-all-6.5.0-68167<wbr />62.iso<br />
<br />
<br />
VMware-VIM-all-6.5.0-94516<wbr />37.iso - this version is vCenter Server 6.5 U2 Update C which is not going to gell well with an older version of vCenter Server.
</div>


<div>
Okay, I took a Windows Server 2008 R2 (full patched as of today - 4 Dec 2018).<br />
<br />
I dropped a version of vCenter Server 6.5 U1b from this iso...<br />
<br />
VMware-VIM-all-6.5.0-68167<wbr />62.iso<br />
<br />
(which is the same as your version).<br />
<br />
No issues, just make sure your ISO you use is an exact matched to the version of VC 6.5.<br />
<br />
see here<br />

This is just a virgin install of VC 6.5 U1b - e.g. no VUM...<br />

I've then installed VUM from this ISO.<br />

make sure you specify name/IP Address of vCenter Server, so it can register with it, and supply the Username and Password for VC 6.5.<br />
<br />

and eventually when you login to VC 6.5, you'll have an Update Manager icon!

Thanks! Hancock! &nbsp;I will try this now

I have more than 5 hosts and 50 vm's &nbsp;which is more than whats recommended for Embedded Database Option. <br />
<br />
Do I really need a separate SQL Server DB for VUM? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I ask because when I check the box for sql 2012 embedded, this is what I get<br />

<div>
SQL installation was not successful is not based on how many VMs you have... it has no method to scan you vCenter Server and VMs, and pop up an unsuccessful.<br />
<br />
That's a Microsoft SQL Express error message. &lt;--- you need to check the server, install logs, and it might be some not compatible with SQL already on the server....<br />
<br />
How many VMs and hosts do you have ? &lt;---- but based on this, probably moot, and you need a SQL server! (remote) not embedded!<br />
<br />
It's based on SQL Express database size, and VUM can be noisy...
</div>


<div>
I know it has nothing to do with how many hosts and vm's I have. &nbsp;lol<br />
<br />
I was just showing you what happens when I try to install the embedded option. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Anyway so now I have to create a DB on a SQL server and I've never done that before. &nbsp;Is there a good doc detailing this? <br />
<br />
I am not sure if we have a vcenter DB on a SQL server here in this environment. &nbsp;Is there a way to confirm this on the Vcenter server or within the Vsphere Web Gui? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
If so, then I will probably use the same SQL Instance for the VUM DB

To be honest with you, I would dump it all, if it's easy setup, and just jump to VCSA 6.5.<br />

<br />
Yeah, &nbsp;IF its easy setup. &nbsp;That's the question.<br />
<br />
Also, I just want to make sure one more time, incase I missed earlier in this thread. &nbsp;<br />

VUM is allowed on a Vsphere Standard 6 license correct? &nbsp;cause it would suck to go through all this and find out its not supported on this license.

The successor to Active Server Pages, ASP.NET websites utilize the .NET framework to produce dynamic, data and content-driven web applications and services. ASP.NET code can be written using any .NET supported language. As of 2009, ASP.NET can also apply the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern to web applications

Installation is the act of making a computer program program ready for execution. Because the process varies programs often come with a specialized program responsible for doing whatever is needed for their installation. Installation may be part of a larger software deployment process. Cross platform installer builders that produce installers for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux include InstallAnywhere, InstallBuilder and Install4J. Installers for Microsoft Windows include Windows Installer, InstallShield, and Wise Installation Studio; free installer-authoring tools include NSIS, IzPack, Clickteam, InnoSetup, InstallSimple and WiX. Mac OS X includes Installer, and also includes a separate software updating application.

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.

Windows OS

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft. It has a number of versions, including including Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Storage; new features included server core installation and Hyper-V.

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
