None of the options worked for me so as a workaround, I removed one host from the cluster and vCenter altogether and just pointed the converter tool to the ESXi host directly, as soon as it finished, i simply put the host back into vCenter with the new converter VMs..

Re: cant convert to smb share
First off: Thank you POCEH for your remarks on local user accounts and consequences of this on reaching other servers.
---
I struggled with the same issue as OP and probably also mr Boltzman. I did not get the exact same errormessages, but I had the same idea of virtualizing to a share on another server.
This did not work and the converter-log was swamped with "Sysimgbase_Disklib_Getinfo failed with access denied", "FileIO-unlock", "Error 327689 opening disk", "FileIO lock ... lock timed out", "Locking of virtual disk failed..." etc
I found a solution on this link: https://nikolar.com/2015/03/10/creating-network-share-with-anonymous-access/
This described what is needed to secure anonymous access to a share.
In my case I have configured several places so I am not sure how much of my changes were actually needed, but the last configs was in Windows Local Security Policy with "Network access: Shares that can be accessed anonymously" incl my sharename and "Network access: Named pipes that can be accessed anonymously".
I think the opening for anonymous tricked it.
I made (at least) the following configs on the server with the sharename:
- No UAC and win firewalls
- Enable guestaccount
- Add guest and anonymous with full access to the shared folder
Local security policy (Security settings/Local policies/Security Options):
- Accounts: Guest account status – change to Enabled
- Network access: Let Everyone permissions apply to anonymous users – change to Enabled
- Network access: Restrict anonymous access to Named Pipes and Shares – change to Disabled
- Network access: Shares that can be accessed anonymously – enter name of share you created in the text field
My setup:
- Source: Virtual win2012R2
- Destination: Share on other virtual win2012R2
- Same subnet
- Converter 6.2.7348398
I have a current case in a prod-environment were the above could be usefull but I doubt I can get away with all these changes in the security profile.
For my prod-case I think I will go for running the P2V from another server in the same subnet which luckily has access to a vCenter.

Standalone Converter is not compatible with 6.7U3, you have to go back to 6.5U1

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)

Re: vmware-converter-server service crashes after installing latest VMware vCenter Converter Standalone 6.2 build 8466193
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.

Hello,
You are trying to install it under domain account or local account.
To isolate the issue,You can login to a local account that has administrative privileges and retry.Do let me know if that works out for you

Major Issue - After V2V from Hyper V, the VM does not boot into OS disk
We have large Hyper V which needs to be migrated however after V2V of the VM, the OS does not boot into OS.
We have tried Windows 2012, 2016, Linux and non has been successful
we are using latest version on stand alone converter (6.2.0.1)
The source VMs are EFI and after conversion, the windows logo and it get stuck there and eventually errors 0xc0000001 (windows)
On windows VM, when boot into the recovery and run diskpart, all the partitions lists correctly

Look at GUI logs because this looks like the problem in your case.

Re: Server 2012 Inaccessible_Boot_Device after V2V from Hyper-V.
Good Evening,
at first i have to apologize for my bad english, but i hope you understand me and my resolution for the problem.
I had the same problem this week after converting a Hyper-V machine to VMWare Vcenter. The Problem is caused through drivers which are unable to load.
You have to boot to cmd line via Advanced Boot Options or Windows Server 2012 Instalc-CD/ISO.The you have to Install all Third Party Drivers to get Windows Booting. The following command shows all installed Third-Party Drivers of the mounted Windows Installation:
dism /Image:[Volume with WIndows-Installation]C:\ /Get-Drivers
The Shown Drivers are name oem[number].inf . To resolve the Problem, you have to remove this drivers with th following command:
dism /Image:C:\ /Remove-Driver /Driver:oem1,inf
You have to do it for each oem.inf
To finalize it you have to reeboot an you see it will work.

Ok, let's try something else - run the elevated command prompt and execute "C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware vCenter Converter Standalone\vmware-converter-a.exe" "C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware vCenter Converter Standalone\converter-agent.xml", then share the output.
