Address LookupWhat's My IP AddressContact VMware vCenter Server 5.1 Install Error - "Create standalone instance VMwareVCMSDS" failed 1 Reply When installing VMware vCenter Server 5.1, I came accross this issue after I had uninstalled an instance of vCenter running on the machine. Symptom: When installing vCenter Server 5.1, you are presented with a dialog box saying Creation of instance VMwareVCMSDS failed: The name ‘VMwareVCMSDS' is already in use as an AD LDS instance name; and are https://communities.vmware.com/thread/456831?start=0&tstart=0 presented with options to force install or cancel. I didn't just keep blowing through the installer as I felt it would probably bite me in the butt later. Instead I decided to figure out what the problem was and how to make the vCenter installer happy. As the dialog box http://jackstromberg.com/2013/01/vmware-vcenter-server-5-1-install-error-create-standalone-instance-vmwarevcmsds-failed/ says, you can find information inside of the jointool.log and status.txt files stored inside of your user's TEMP directory during installation (which can probably be found here: C:\Users\myusersdirectory\AppData\Local\Temp).
