I am receiving this error when attempting to P2V a physical Windows 2012 server into vcenter 7.0u3c using VMware Converter Standalone 6.3 build: 205753454. The physical computer is a workgroup member so i added host file entries for both the venter server and the target esxi host.
here is a snippet of the log file with ip addresses and user creds redacted

Having the same issue.
Server Im trying to P2V is MS Windows server 2008 r2 using VMware Vcenter Converter standalone v 6.2.0
same error.
When i searched some of the other forums i found some said to add the destination IP to the Host file in the
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc which i have tried as well. It did not resolve the issue.
Antivirus is disabled and Firewall rule has been set to allow traffic from 443 and 902.

Hello
Please try add IP addresses in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file for vCenter and ESX host.
Don't know why but converter always try migrate to first ESX from cluster, even when I chosen ESX02.mydomain.com, into logs visible was information that he cannot resolve ESX01.mydomain.com
C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware vCenter Converter Standalone\logs\vmware-converter-worker-1.txt
I also P2V 2008R2 with converter v 6.2.0, source 2008R2 server out of domain.
hosts file:
192.168.10.10 vcenter.mydomain.com
192.168.10.11 ESX01.mydomain.com
I also installed SSL certificates visible during converter warning message 'Converter Security Warning'
I've chosen 'View Certificate' instead 'Ignore' option and Install
In my case above actions solve problem
