It can't be this hard. I've spent the time to create two server 2016 VMs that I've applied all system updates, mitigated Security STIGs and passed security scans, but I can't Export/Import the OVF files to a separate vCenter instance.
I didn't want to go through the process of creating VMs on the second instance and going through the process of hardening them again, but it seems like it would be faster to do so.
I'm following all instructions during the export, but it never completes. It will produce the OVF, VMDK and NVRAM files, but it sticks at 50% and never completes or create the last MF file.
The bad part about it is I get no errors that I can find. If I did I could research the errors. There isn't any related items in the Event log that I can correlate to either.
Does the Export/Import tools work?
