 vCenter Server Update 5.5.0a available. vCenter Server – VMware have released just released an update to the vCenter Server 5.5 product. The new release is numbered 5.5.0a and addresses a number of vCenter released bug fixes, mostly around the area of vCenter SSO (Single Sign-On).

Based on the bug fixes found in this release, I recommend you to have this. It will be a good update to download and if it satisfies you, update your environment if you think any of these issues may help you.

Here is a summary of the fixes that can be found in VMware vCenter Server 5.5.0a, and a copy of the release notes.
