Hi,
I am trying to convert a stand alone Server 2008 Standard with SP2.
I have logged in as the local admin and installed the stand alone converter. When I run the wizard, I configure it to convert the local machine. I set the destination system as the IP address of my vCenter server. I also supply my login credentials which it take. I set the destination Virtual Machine to the cluster Pilsen, and the Destination location to the proper datastore, while telling it to convert the diskt to think provisioned. When I click on Finished within my vcenter a virtual machine is created and then automatically deleted. I get the error "A general system error occurred: unknown internal error.
If I look at the log the following stick out.
2013-05-28T11:04:23.436-05:00 [04716 verbose 'Default'] [VimApi] Local version vim.version.version8 is compatible with remote version vim.version.version7; using remote version

So above it accepts my login

Here it says it can't fine the IP address, but I am not sure which one it is talking about, the local one on the computer that is being converted?

I have disabled the fire wall on both computers and this still has not resolved the issue. I do not understand what IP it is looking for.
As always help is greatly appreciated.
