I was trying to sync windows 2003 x64 to ESX 5.5 - napp-it in one storage, this failed. VMware Modified Clusters Tracking Driver test with "sc query bmdrvr" produced driver disabled on not in service.
I noticed on another server with windows 2003 x64 that worked on sync there was a reg key relating to bmdrvr to pointing to the following location SysWOW64\drivers\bmdvr.sys, I exported the key and import to the server that was not working with sync, after that reboot to load registry and it still failed, but showed up on query, I removed two items from the key.
I removed "security" - "Enum" from the bmdrvr reg key and then tried to start, it worked. Why vConverter did not install this key on installing vConverter Stand alone on the Windows 2003 x64 does not make sense when it worked on the other system
