vmware-converter

While attempting to carry out a V2V using VMware Converter I had a permissions related issue when selecting the source machine: Permission to perform this operation was denied I triple-checked my permissions within vCenter were sufficient to carry out a V2V, even temporarily granting my own account with the Administrator role directly to the location in question, but still received the above error. I stumbled across this VMware Community posting which suggested that granting local Administrator rights to the account I was using on the Windows server where VMware Converter was running from might help.
