You must have the installation DVD or download the installation ISO image.
*
Your hardware must meet the minimum hardware requirements. For more information, see vCenter Server and vSphere Client Hardware Requirements.
*
Ensure you have the required ports open. For more information, see vCenter Server 4.1 network port requirements (1022256).
*
If the machine on which you are installing vCenter Server has a previous version of vCenter installed, you may want to upgrade instead of performing a fresh installation of vCenter Server.
*
Make sure that the system you use for your vCenter Server installation belongs to a domain rather than a workgroup.
*
Ensure the system on which you are installing vCenter Server is not an Active Directory domain controller.
*
It is critical that you have reliable DNS and Time services.

During the installation, the connection between the machine and the domain controller must be working.
*
There must be no Network Address Translation (NAT) between the vCenter Server system and the hosts it manages.

The computer name cannot be more than 15 characters.
