Explanation:

ESX and vCenter Server Installation Guide, ESX 4.0, vCenter Server 4.0 Page 16, 83-84.

The vCenter Server system is a physical machine or virtual machine with access to a
supported database. [D above]

The system that you use for your vCenter Server installation must belong to a domain
rather than a workgroup. If assigned to a workgroup, the vCenter Server system is not
able to discover all domains and systems available on the network when using such
features as vCenter Guided Consolidation Service. [E above]

This paragraph is highly confusing, as it contradicts itself. However, in fact vCenter
Server can be installed to a system residing in a workgroup, as shown below.

vCenter Server, like any other network server, should be installed on a machine with a
fixed IP address and well-known DNS name, so that clients can reliably access the
service. If you use DHCP instead of a static IP address for vCenter Server, make sure that
the vCenter Server computer name is updated in the domain name service (DNS). [C
above]
