Per https://www.vmware.com/pdf/convsa_60_guide.pdf#page=19 ​windows Storage server 2008 is not listed in the "supported OS".

Does this mean I wouldn't be able to convert windows storage server onto VMware platform?? (P2V)

The proper documentation link is VMware vCenter Converter Standalone 6.2.0.1 Release Notes and About VMware vCenter Converter Standalone User Guide

And 2008 is not supported because is EOL but you can still convert it.

The real error is "Failed to get host ADS object in ACE initialization (0x80070057)" which is kindly unusual.

If I recall correctly in this case you can install Converter Agent *only* and then convert machine through other machine where Converter is installed correctly via Remote Windows machine.
