I'm trying to convert a running physical Windows Server 2003 machine using Converter 5.0. The target is a VMware Server 2.x box.
When I launch the wizard and enter credentials for the powered-on machine, I'm using its IP address and an account in its domain (IT). The VMware Server machine is in a different domain and forest.
After I put in the credentials, I get the following error:
A general system error occurred: Crypto Exception: error:02001005:system library:fopen:Input/output error:unable to load C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware vCenter Converter Standalone\ssl\rui.crt
Here's what I've tried so far:
1. Verified that the target rui.crt file exists at the specified path and that the domain account I'm using to run the converter has full access to it.
2. Running the converter using the Windows 2003 "Run As" command, specifying the domain admin account I'm currently logged in with and unchecking "Run this program with restricted access"
3. Running with "Run As" using a different domain admin account
4. Removing and reinstalling the converter
The conversion starts normally if I run the client from the machine hosting VMware Server and let it connect to the agent on the source machine, but I'd like to know why the client fails when run directly on the source, as I have several of these machines to convert. Any suggestions would be welcome.
