Re: Error : Permission to perform this operation was denied -- Log : Must be administrator to access physical computer

I know this is an older post but for what it is worth....

 

I was having this same issue.  I reinstalled, even downgraded to an older build.  Launched the program using the "run as administrator" and tried logging into the local computer and running it as different users.  I even tried to preinstall the client before the P2V process.  All to no avail.  In the end I ended up running the program as myself but when selecting the server I wanted to convert and giving the credentials, instead of using a domain admin account I ended up using the server's (source) administrative account.  I assume any local admin account (non-domain account) would work.

     SERVER: {source server name}    

     USERNAME: {server name}\administrator

     PASSWORD: {admin password}

 

Hope this helps someone.  I waisted a couple days on this,

Chris
