Hi,

I have ESXi and used Converter before to peform conversion. Now whenever I try to initiate conversion I'm getting error specified in a subject. What could be the reason?

More details, please. Converter version? ESXi version? Guest OS? Where are you running Converter from?

Sorry.

Converter is 4.0 (latest). Server is ESxi 3.5. Client to be converted is Windows XP. Converter client is running on Windows 2003.

Here is what I see in the logs

Trying connection to server 'esx' with user 'root'

Getting VIM connection to esx...

Reusing existing VIM connection to esx

Testing client connection to agent

Reusing existing agent connection
