I have also read that VC apparently does not work very well with SQL Express... Unfortunately I can't recall where I read any of this. :( I and other people with "small" VMware clusters of 5 hosts or less would appreciate further comments and guidelines about 'gotchas' or things to be careful about WHEN/WHILE using VC with SQL Express, whether VC with SQL Express adequately supports the 'higher' monitoring levels that capture more data about the resident VMs. It also would be nice to know if it's okay with appropriate precautions (backup etc.) to run VC in a VM with a SQL Express database. Thank you, Tom I have read that VMware does not adequately support SQL Express for VC, despite providing it.
