[ESXi4.1U1] vCenter Server Startup Problems

I got the vmware virtualcenter server error 1000 odbc error on bootup of my Windows Server 2003 (64bit) which did serve my vCenter Server.
In fact this did mean in my case: The MSSQL Server didn't boot / or too slow, so that vCenter Server came up - couldn't access the DB and shutdown - "great!".
Luckily, there is an solution, pointed to by this ( http://communities.vmware.com/message/1247357 ) and this Website ( http://blogs.egroup-us.com/?p=1821 )

In the end I solved my problem following:
cmdline:
sc config vpxd depend= rpcSs/lanmanworkstation/MSSQL$SQLEXP_VIM/ADAM_VMwareVCMSDS

With these new dependencies, vCenter should boot up on boot... at least it did that last time... ^^'.

[EEE901/1000] Use Windows XP Bluetooth-Stack on Asus 901/1000

- Deactivate Bluetooth in the Asus-Tray-Utility
- Open C:\WINDOWS\INF\BTH.INF with the Editor.
- Look for:
[Manufacturer]
%Microsoft%=Microsoft
ALPS=ALPS, NT.5.1
Belkin=Belkin, NT.5.1
...

- Now add "Asus=ASUS, NT.5.1". It should look like this:
[Manufacturer]
%Microsoft%=Microsoft
ALPS=ALPS, NT.5.1
Asus=ASUS, NT.5.1
Belkin=Belkin, NT.5.1
...

- Now look for "[Zeevo.NT.5.1]". It should look like this:
[Zeevo.NT.5.1]
Zeevo Bluetooth Solution=                        BthUsb, USB\Vid_0b7a&Pid_07d0&Rev_0126
Zeevo Bluetooth Solution=                        BthUsb, USB\Vid_0b7a&Pid_07d0&Rev_0133

- Beneath it, add following:
[Asus.NT.5.1]
Asus BT-253=                        BthUsb, USB\VID_0B05&PID_B700

- Result:
[Zeevo.NT.5.1]
Zeevo Bluetooth Solution=                        BthUsb, USB\Vid_0b7a&Pid_07d0&Rev_0126
Zeevo Bluetooth Solution=                        BthUsb, USB\Vid_0b7a&Pid_07d0&Rev_0133
[Asus.NT.5.1]
Asus BT-253=                        BthUsb, USB\VID_0B05&PID_B700

- Save and leave the editor
- Now it depends wheter you did install the Widcomm Software or wheter you start with an fresh Win XP Installation

With Widcomm-Software:
- Activate Bluetooth in the Asus-Tray-Utility, Bluetooth Symbol should be white
- Go to System, Software and remove Widcomm-Bluetooth-Software
- At the end, system want that you deactivate Bluetooth - do that via the Tray Utility
- Than, it wants to reboot - DON'T do that.
- Activate Bluetooth again in the Asus-Tray-Utility
- Windows should start installing its own Bluetooth Stack
- Reboot after that, you're done

Without Widcomm-Software:
- Just activate Activate Bluetooth in the Asus-Tray-Utility and it should start installing
- If not, go to the Hardware Manager and "search for changed Hardware"

Internal Notes:
C:\WINDOWS\INF\BTH.INF
rundll32.exe bthprops.cpl,,BluetoothAuthenticationAgent
bthprops.cpl

I found it btw in an german forum and did roughly translate it, because I found it very useful as I only use Bluetooth for s25@once with my Handy.
