When installing vCenter 5.1 you may get the error message:
“Error 32010. Failed to create database users. There can be several reasons for this failure. For more information, see the vmMSSWLCmd.log file in the system temporary folder”
You can find the location of vmMSSQLCmd.log in
The reason for the error should be in this file. In my instance it was because the passwords chosen for the RSA_DBA and RSA_USER accounts did not meet windows complexity requirements. I changed the passwords to something more complex and the install completed successfully.
THE END
Thank you, very helpful !!
Thank you! I had the same issue. Your post helped me to resolve the issue.
Thank you. You really helped me
Thank you very much!
Hello!
I have this error
my logfile say: Changed database context to ‘master’.
Msg 15025, Level 16, State 1, Server VCENTERVIM_SQLEXP, Line 1
The server principal ‘RSA_USER’ already exists.
WTF? I use very strong password!
Sounds like the user already exists in the database. I would try installing to a brand new DB
Thanks for this, was messing around for a good hour wondering why it wouldnt work!

Thank you. You saved my day.
Helped me out too, and saved my few remaining strands of hair – thank you.
I ran into the dreaded 32010 error, and first I thought it was an issue installing on Server 2012 (even with the new Update 1 release). But it seems my issue was *too* complex of a password. I use a password generator and it would constantly fail at every combination. Finally I typed in a less complex password and bam!
Coooooool !!!!!
Thanksss!!!
Thank You
I have the same 32010 error, but in the vmMSSQLCmd.log file it had the following:
sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 10.0 : Unspecified error.
Any ideas?
Thank you!
thank u very much. it helped a lot
Appreciated, I input a complex password and it worked.
Really Appreciate this information, Password complexity was the issues causing this problem
Thanks !!! 🙂
