Windows 2008 P2V

Hi all,

I tried to convert a Windows 2008 R2 Entreprise edition to a VM using plateSpin, but this did not succed. I recieve a BleuScrren with the followin error message :

"

STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error}

The Session Manager Initialization system process terminated unexpectedly status of 0xc000003a (0x00000000 0x00000000).

The system has been shu down.

"

Did sombody had the same issue when converting a windows 2008 servers?

NB: I use an online conversion and using physical to phisical mode, because I created the an empty VM with the necessary ressources requirements.

Thank you
