Converter 5.5 fails with message "A specified parameter was not correct. info.owner"

Hi,

I'm trying to convert a VM from local VMWare Workstation 10 (.vmx file) to vCenter.

After all the screens, before the process begin there is an error: "A specified parameter was not correct. info.owner".

This is discussed in several places such as here: https://communities.vmware.com/thread/458434.

The reason for the error is that the source hostname is the same as the user name in vCenter of the destination target.

This defect is several years old, and I hoped that in Converter 5.5 it would be resolved but it is not.

Are there any plans to fix that? For what version?

Thanks!

This is not the Converter issue but there is workaround: do the computer's name different from the user's name. HTH
