Initial Configuration of the
Orchestrator Server 5
The Orchestrator Web Configuration tool is installed silently with vCenter Server. You can use this tool to
configure the components that are related to the Orchestrator engine, such as network, database, server
certificate, and so on. The correct configuration of these components ensures the proper functioning of the
applications running on the Orchestrator platform.

Start the Orchestrator Configuration Service
If you have installed Orchestrator as a part of the vCenter Server installation, the Orchestrator Configuration
service does not start by default. You must start it manually before you try to access the Orchestrator
configuration interface.
If you installed Orchestrator standalone, the Orchestrator Configuration service is already started.
Procedure
1 On the machine on which Orchestrator is installed, select Start > Programs > Administrative Tools >
Services.
2 In the Services window, right-click VMware vCenter Orchestrator Configuration and select Start.
