FAILED: Unable to obtain the lock on virtual disks

Hello,

Several years back I successfully converted a physical machine to a virtual with VMware's converter standalone tool. That was several versions back obviously. Now, I am trying to do the same thing and failing. I have been looking to see why it is happening.

FAILED: Unable to obtain the lock on virtual disks.

This is the error I am getting above.

Any advice is welcome. Verion of converter is 6.2.0 build-7348398

Thanks,

Nick

Run VMware Vcenter Converter like Administrator. Run -> as-> Administrator.
