Bother with VMware Converter

I find Converter to be very unpredictable. I have a list of servers to convert P2V of all OS. Some virtualise without hassle, others, (egNT4 servers) do not complete. There is a distinct lack of logs to indicate where the problems originate. I have logged a call with my support provider who have advised some of the following to ensure that conversions complete.

1: check File & Print Services are running on the source servers.

2: Check all admin shares are present.

3: For Windows NT, check the windows option under network Adapter under Advanced Options.

I'd be interested to get some feedback from other users. Am I doing something wrong, or is it just an unpredictable piece of software.

I'd love to know what the user base thinks.

Keano,

Surely the Converter logs are the first place you want to look? Do you have any specfic examples you want to post here so that we can take a look?
