Hi all, first post on this forum, I usually always manage to find the answer I need here and never had a need to post till now...
Trying to migrate a Windows 2008 R2 Ent SP1 server from A-B.
I always use Converter 5.0.0 (as it does everything I need) till today when I came across this server with disk formatted as GPT. Hence I installed v 5.1.0 locally which has support for GPT disks.
I have then spent the rest of the afternoon trying to make it work, but to no avail. I can telnet to ports 443, 902 from inside the O/S to the target ESXi host and the local firewall is disabled.
The error I keep getting is highlighted below, taken from the most recent converter job logs:
I have also since installed v5.5 of the Standalone converter and got the same error... Please please please help as this is driving me nuts...

I have added the ips, fqdn's and hostname of all the esxi hosts in this cluster including the VC to the local hosts file.
If you need anymore info, just say....
Would really appreciate any help on this.
Many thanks...
