      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;We ran into this same problem attempting to P2V 2012 and 2012 R2 servers. The account I was using had local admin, domain admin, enterprise admin, administrators group privileges with UAC disabled and still I was getting the "Permission to perform this operation was denied" error with "Must be administrator to access physical computer" in the log.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="screenshot.156.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/69067i50623BF7748AFDCF/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="screenshot.156.jpg" alt="screenshot.156.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Finally I found a work around. On the machine I was converting I changed the Local Security Policy setting for "User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode" to Disabled. I was then able to P2V the server. After the P2V I changed the setting back.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="screenshot.155.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/69068i759FCDAC3C19FE1B/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="screenshot.155.jpg" alt="screenshot.155.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Another work around I had was to simply use the local "Administrator" account or run the converter from the server I'm P2Ving.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;- Leslie&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Right clicking and running as Administrator is what did it for me.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
