I was running vcenter4.0 on W2K3R2 x64 Sql Express 2005. I have upgraded to Sql Express 2008 - no direct path from Express 2005 to Full 2008. Prepared a new VM box W2K8R2 with Full Sql 2008. Bkup'ed VCDB. Restored it to Sql 2008. Created 64-bit DSN for vCenter4.1 VCDB and 32-Bit DSN for VUM DB. Created new VUM DB on Sql 2008. Done, tested and working. Used datamigration tool. Upgraded vSphere client on my workstation. Upgraded my 2 hosts to ESXi4.1 via vMA box. Done, tested and working fine. Enabled SSH on both hosts. Created ESX Admins Group in AD. Enabled AD integration on both hosts. I have documented everything on my OneNote file.
It is working absolutely fine. Need to catch up with more theory to sit the exam
