Error 1920 Vmware Converter Windows Server 2003
Edgars Rob
Im atempting to perform a P2V and stall at the Source System section with "permission to perform this operation was denied" (screen shot attatched as 1.jpg - Note, i blanked out part of the acocunt name with ***)
I've also seen mention of local admin rights required on source server. I've done this. The account i'm using is a domain admin and although domain admins are part of the local administrators permissions group i've also added my comain account to the source servers Administrators group too.
Using vConverter 4.3 unable to complete a P2V conversion, the following message appears: "Error: Unable to connect to the Converter helper server on the destination virtual machine." I set up an ip address manually to the Helper Server, but we did not succeed.
I am trying to convert a backup of my XP partiton (which was done using Acronis True Image Home 11 release) to a virtual machine. When I browse to the tib image file and click the View Source Details link or click Next, it shows an error message at the top of Converter window stating "The source paramteers are invalid." I thought Acronis True Image 10 and 11 were fully supported and would work? Does anyone have any ideas what I can do to use this image? Do I need to do anything different when creating the image file in Acronis True Image?
I've tried this install with local admin and domain admin accounts. I've installed this on other servers with the same accounts without issue. Same issue happens on my local laptop with Windows 7 Enterprise SP1.
I have 2 file servers to convert. 1 is Win 2008 R2, one is Win 2012 R2. I've been asked to estimate the amount of time it will take to convert, and i have no way how to do that. I have the sizes of the machines to convert (1 is 500G, the other is a bit over 600G).
To try it out, I installed it on my lap top, and tried to convert it. When it started the conversion, it got as far as 1%, and then failed with the message "FAILED: An error occurred during the conversion: 'converter.fault.FileIOFault'" I'm not sure why this is, as I was trying to save the file(s) to a hard disk that's working fine. Please see the following screenshot...
No matter what i've tried, adding routes (route add GATEWAY dev eth0 ; route add default gw GATEWAY) , changing VLAN's before conversion start, changing helper machine IP adresses , conversion didn't work out.
What's the best way to P2V a Windows XP machine? I see the standalone converter doesn't list that as a supported guest OS. Unfortunately the software on the machine isn't available anymore so I'm trying to be as un-intrusive as possible so as not to cause any issues with the machine; just want to be able to have a working full backup of the machine in the event the hardware goes.

I am attempting to create a virtual machine from this machine to run in VMWare Server (version 1.0.1 build-29996) on the same physical machine. The conversion appears to succeed, but when I attempt to start the new virtual machine, it begins to boot, displays the Windows 2003 startup screen briefly, and then fails with a blue screen with the following error:
I have been able to successfully convert and boot a 32-bit Windows Server 2003 physical machine as a virtual machine running in this same VMWare Server. I don't have any other 64-bit machines to test this with.
I am logged in directly to the console of the physical machine with the administrator account. I enabled virtualization in the BIOS. I have tried various combinations when building the virtual machine (customizing or not, fixed or variable disk sizes, importing both C: and D: drives or importing only the C: drive, etc). I have the SYSPREP files from the x64 installation disks locally on the server, and I have run SETUPMGR in this folder to create a SYSPREP.INF file. All of these various attempts have failed with the same boot error.
Well i'm converting a 2012 server on to esxi, but as i start the conversion i get the error from the Topic. My pc is on win10. agent is well installed on the server, i've did other servers in the past.
I am trying to download the Standalone converter but it won't let me! I've registered and signed in and in the 'Download Packages' section i am just getting 2 version history boxes and no download option.
Converted windows server 2000 to vmdk format using vmware Vcenter converter standalone. The conversion failed at 97 % with an error " unable to find the system volume, reconfiguration is not possible- Error: reconfiguration failed "
still i tried to run the vmx in my vmware workstation 10, it did not startup. came with error "cannot connect the virtual device serial0 because no corresponding device is available on the host " "cannot connect the virtual device floppy0 because no corresponding device is available on the host " "cannot connect the virtual device parallel0 because no corresponding device is available on the host " "cannot connect the virtual device serial1 because no corresponding device is available on the host "
I was trying to sync windows 2003 x64 to ESX 5.5 - napp-it in one storage, this failed. VMware Modified Clusters Tracking Driver test with "sc query bmdrvr" produced driver disabled on not in service.
I noticed on another server with windows 2003 x64 that worked on sync there was a reg key relating to bmdrvr to pointing to the following location SysWOW64\drivers\bmdvr.sys, I exported the key and import to the server that was not working with sync, after that reboot to load registry and it still failed, but showed up on query, I removed two items from the key.
I removed "security" - "Enum" from the bmdrvr reg key and then tried to start, it worked. Why vConverter did not install this key on installing vConverter Stand alone on the Windows 2003 x64 does not make sense when it worked on the other system

Today I had a chance to work on the p2v conversion after a long time. This is to migrate windows server 2003 physical server to VMware VM. I downloaded the vCenter converter 6.2 and started to install it. Unfortunately it was not completed. I tried to start the services manually through the services.msc but it gives the below error. You can see the VMware services are being listed there and see the start option as well.
I checked the installer log (%temp%\vminst.log) but no luck. I did the reboot even but nothing happened. I created a separate user account and granted the local admin permission too. Get the installer as run admin. None of those not worked for me.
Finally I was able to find the solution. I was thinking this failed due to permission and there is a way to grant permission. When I was thinking about this, yeah there is a way and I need to try that. Finally, I think I was granted permission for specific service.

If you are using VMware vCenter converter standalone tool version 6.2.x for P2V / V2V to migrate the obsolete windows Server 2000 to 2008 SP1 / SP2, 2008 R2 or later then may face very common errors : Unable to complete converter agent installation error code 1603 or similar errors as shown below:
1. The VMware vCenter Converter Standalone Agent service failed to start due to the following error: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion. Unable to complete converter agent installation error code 1603.
The Service Control Manager will generate an event if a service does not respond within the defined timeout period (the default timeout period is 30000 milliseconds). To resolve the error: Unable to complete converter agent installation error code 1603, just use the Registry Editor to change the default timeout value for all services to follow the following steps:
I'm trying to live migrate VMs' from Server 2012 R2 to Server 2019 and noticed that VMs with .vhdx fail to be live migrated on the new host. The migration starts and progress until the end (or close to then end ?) of the process and then fail.
- On the 2019 host, I can see the following error in the eventvwr: "The absolute path 'C:\Windows\system32\vmguest.iso' is valid for the " ISO Disk Image pool, but references a file that does not exist.
I've got a problem with this switch. When I set option "Register This Connections Address" for virtual network adapters (vEthernet (VS-E1)) for this switch on these two nodes, this settings change value to False. So after some time records for this network adapters are removed by DNS server because cluster doesn't refresh this option.
I was taking on online course for learning MS Server 2012 R2. The course had me install vmware which the eval license expired before I could complete the course. So I thought I would follow along using Hyper-v, but when I tried to open it I got the error below. This is on a computer that I am running MS Server 2012 R2 and it has worked before on this machine. Can anyone please help me get past this?
