Resolution

This issue is resolved in:

This is a known issue affecting vSphere Update Manager 5.0. Currently, there is no resolution.
To work around this issue:
  • Confirm the DSN for Update Manager is 32-bit. For more information, see Creating a 32bit DSN on a 64bit Windows machine (1010401).
  • Use the SQL 2008 R2 Native Client 10 driver when creating the DSN to the Update Manager database if installing on Windows Server 2008 (SP1 or SP2) or Windows Server 2008 R2.
  • Use the SQL Driver package pre-installed on Windows Server 2012 if you are installing on Windows Server 2012.
  • With Windows Server 2012 use SQL 2008R2 SQL Native Client 10.0 when connecting against a SQL 2012 Server.
