vCenter 4 service does not start after server reboot

This occurs if you are running the vCenter database (SQL Server) on the same server as vCenter itself.
To resolve this issue we need to create a dependency for the VMware VirtualCenter Server service for the following services:
MSSQL$SQLEXP_VIM
ADAM_VMwareVCMSDS
Run regedit and go to the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\vpxd
Edit the DependOnService value adding these values:
MSSQL$SQLEXP_VIM
ADAM_VMwareVCMSDS
Restart the server to check if all is ok.
