VSS Error when trying to convert W2k3 server

Good day,

I am getting the following error when I try to convert a Windows 2003 64bit server.

"Unable to create a VSS snapshot of the source volume(s)". Error code:2147942414 (0x8007000E)

After the first failure, I rebooted and checked the services for VSS when it came back up and everything was started. I checked the event viewer and nothing there related to this other than the volsnap error "The flush and hold operation for volume C:\ was aborted because of low available system memory." at the time it errored out in Converter.

Did a list writers and they were all stable so I tried to convert again and same error. Server is as up to date as it can be (R2 SP2)

Env details

ESXi 6.7

Converter 6.1.1 running on physical Windows 2008

Source is physical windows 2003 Standard R2 SP2

C drive is 136GB with 36GB free

Any ideas?

Thanks
