Are you running Converter directly on the system you are converting? Are you using a Local Admin user account? Did you reboot after you installed Converter? What OS are you running? How much disk space do you have free?

See my site for a best practice guide...

Hello!

No, running from the VC server.

Yes local admin on the client and domain admin at VC target server.

No, I´ll try to install it locally and reboot.

W2K

Client Total: 68GB Used 5,7 new 10GB ( I also tried not to shrink)

Target LUN 275GB free

I´ll check your site out!

Hi Daniel

From what i've seen, it not recommended to run the converter on the VC server. You could create a new Guest VM that hosts the VMware converter to use for conversions into the environment.

I usually just install it on the server I am converting, it's less complicated that way.

I´m so darn stupid...

I´m quite sure I did reboot the server, but I did som changing, installed and uninstalled the Agents so I guess I ended up with a "unrebooted" server.. Because when I rebooted it now It just went on.

I hope It will go for a 100% success now.

Thx for your help guys!
