The problem of converting a physical machine to a virtual machine

[Liwenjun888]

After I run VMware Converter, I am ready to convert the local physical machine.

I mapped a remote Windows share folder to Z: disk, and then converted the destination file to Z: disk

Error after task start: "File Z:\MININT\ minint.vmx was not found"

What's the reason?

Thank you very much!

Use the latest Converter 6.2.0.1

VMware converter - en - 6.2.0-8466193. Exe

This is the version

Could you upload log bundle?

[Liwenjun888]

OK.

As fastest solution try with UNC name \\172.xxxxx instead of Z:

Awaiting for result.

Thanks for your help!

I've tried,

\ \ 172.18.2.199 \ share

But the prompt: "A general system error occurred: login failure: unknown user name or wrong password."

The above information is also in the LOG file

Ensure that share has permission for 'everyone' read/write (this is easiest way).

Before conversion remove Z: drive mapping, and also remove any other connection(s) to share - use command "net use /delete \\172xxxxx" from elevated and not-elevated prompts!

Oh.I see.

It's normal to use guest users in Windows to share folders, and I'm using CentOS's Samba to share folders, not local user authentication.I know it might have something to do with permissions. Let me check again.Thank you for your answer!
