I'm not seeing the scripts for freezing and thawing. I've searched my VM's hard drives, the VMTools ISOs and the ESX server's file system. What gives? Anyone know what I'm missing? (other than the obvious)

How do I remove HP Network Configuration Utility
I am P2Ving some HP machines and have read the posts here on how to remove most of the HP components but I am stuck on how to get rid of the HP network Configuration Utility program which puts the HP Network icon in the system tray. There is a post from Guillermo Musumeci back in 2007 that said using this command:
snetcfg.exe -v -u cq_cpqteam
should do it but I can't find snetcfg.exe on this server.
There is also a post from Jasemccarty in 2007 that said this keymay be the key you have to remove:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\
{4D36E975-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\{FD0FF0D6-4876-4894-9274-258564E35C07}
But that key doesn't appear to be in the registry on this server. Anyone have any ideas on how to remove this last bit of HP centric software from a P2V'd VM?
Anyone know why HP makes it so blasted difficult to remove their drivers and other components?
thanks,
Dan

Install VMWare Converter on VC Server ?
We are new to VMWare Converter and we get an Enterprise Version.
We would like to convert some physical servers to VM in the near future. In this way, we start looking into VMware Converter.
We would like to know is it a good idea to install VMWare Converter on the VC Server ? From the web, we understand that there are 2 components of Converter - Agent & Manager. Should we install both of them in the VC Server or just install the Manager component ?
Moreover, since the C drive of the VC Server is almost full, can we install VMWare Converter on the D drive ? This is a fellow has told us that we have to get it installed on the system drive.
Thanks

Converter 5.5 - Permission to perform this operation was denied
Hi,
I am getting the following error when using Converter Server to import Hyper-V and Powered-on machines - Permission to perform this operation was denied
I have installed Converter directly on the machine that was getting the same issue and it imports fine!
I have disabled UAC on Converter Server, reinstalled it, built a new VM and installed Converter again!
There is a few errors in the logs
2013-11-04T14:21:04.551+13:00 [02076 error 'Ufa.HTTPService'] Failed to read request; stream: <io_obj p:0x01fd94ec, h:-1, <pipe '\\.\pipe\vmware-converter-server-soap'>, <pipe '\\.\pipe\vmware-converter-server-soap'>>, error: class Vmacore::TimeoutException(Operation timed out)
I have disabled SSL on the Converter Server worker process but this didn't work
I have 30 Hyper-V VMs to import and cannot do this one by one!
Cheers,

Ports to be opened for P2V
Hi folks,
Have a question on ports required to P2V a server to vCenter server cluster (not directly to ESXi host) with the standalone converter tool installed directly on the source.
Do I need to open the firewall ports from source to vCenter cluster IP or to the individual vCenter servers and to all ESXi hosts in the HA cluster as well ?
Source machine with Standalone Converter Installed ==>> Destination vCenter Server Cluster
from Source machine TCP 443 undirectional to vCenter cluster IP for vCenter communications.....and to individual vCenter servers in the vcenter cluster and all ESXi hosts??
from source machine TCP 902 unidirectional to vCenter server cluster IP for cloning process.....and to individual vCenter servers in the vcenter cluster and all ESXi hosts??
Thank you for your help in advance!!!

VMware vCenter Converter and Acronis True Image 11 .tib files
I am trying to convert a backup of my XP partiton (which was done using Acronis True Image Home 11 release) to a virtual machine. When I browse to the tib image file and click the View Source Details link or click Next, it shows an error message at the top of Converter window stating "The source paramteers are invalid." I thought Acronis True Image 10 and 11 were fully supported and would work? Does anyone have any ideas what I can do to use this image? Do I need to do anything different when creating the image file in Acronis True Image?

How to P2V a SQL Server the right way
So I've been tasked with converting our physical SQL server (with many databases referencing about 5 other virtual servers) I have never converted a SQL server box and am looking for some Best Practices or known issues to watch out for. I've been reading about what to do, what NOT to do, etc. I am planning on using the VMware Converter Standalone to perform the conversion. I know I need to stop all SQL services, or pause the databases. But what is the best way, step-by-step, to do this? Should I use the "Synchronize" function in the converter? Do I need to restore each database from a latest backup to the converted VM? Or can I simply stop services, convert it then bring it online? Are there queries I need to run on the databases after the conversion? I am not a DBA.... !
Anyone else have experience in converting a SQL box?

Good afternoon, I have been trying to convert 2 servers for about a week now. They are running Redhat 5.5. I have been running into all sort of issues. In the beginning the servers would not query and i got passed that but now i have been stuck with this message since yesterday. I have looked at the Forums and I still have not moved anywhere. All I am trying to do is convert 2 old servers to my new esxi server. Please help!! The converter gets to about 3 percent and then Fails.

Hello,
I have a problem with converting Windows 10 from laptop to MacBook with VMware Fusion.
First I tried to make a conversion with PC Migration Agent but with no luck. I read that it can be a problem with more than one partition (there are two hidden partitions).
So I look to VMware vCenter Converter Standalone.
Now I'm after five tries and have no further ideas what to do.
There are logs form three tries in attachment. After first I did chkdsk c: /B, after second chkdsk d: /B.
I don't know what is going on. Please, give me some advice.

Vmacore::TimeoutException(Operation timed out)
I am trying to convert a Windows 7 machine with 4GB into a VM using VMware vCenter Converter standalone.
I keep on getting following internal error:
Error vmware-converter-worker[05796] [Originator@6876 sub=Ufa.HTTPService]
Failed to read request; stream: <io_obj p:0x01446f2c, h:-1, <pipe '\\.\pipe\vmware-converter-worker-soap'>,

error: class Vmacore::TimeoutException(Operation timed out)
I have tried to disable UAC and Turn of firewall and antivirus. I am lost here. Any hints on how to fix this?
I found some info linking this to an issue regarding systems that have the /3GB switch added in the boot.ini file located on the boot drive - but I have no boot.ini on the computer.
TIA, Kind regards S. Dalby

Installs Correctly, Can't Connect
Hi,
I'm having trouble getting the Converter to connect to the server. I'm running Win 7 Pro and have successfully installed the Standalone Converter 5.0.0 build 470252 with the default settings (no advanced changes). I am not joined to a domain. I am logging in as my default Admin account. I run the Standalone Client as an Administrator and the main window comes up. When I click on Convert Machine, I get:
Unable to connect to VMware vCenter Converter Standalone server. Please check your network connection.
followed by:
The connection to VMware cVenter Standalone server was lost. Do you want to try connecting again?
Note - I am not trying to connect to a remote machine, just the local server with the default account. All the VMware services are running (Agent, Server, Worker) and all are set to run as local system account. I've tried restarting all of them. I've tried rebooting. I've tried uninstalling, rebooting, reinstalling and still have the same errors. I cannot see any extra logs in the Event Viewer indicating something is bombing.
When I open a command window and try to connect to localhost via 443, I get a failure. I've already tried opening the port via Windows Firewall and still get the connection failure so I'm not sure if my port is still blocked or if the server itself isn't responding. I don't have any other AV or firewall software running aside from Windows Firewall. Any ideas on where to troubleshoot next? Thanks,
DB

How can I uninstall the vCenter Standalone Converter?
My vCenter Standalone Converter 5.5 installation is corrupted on a Windows Server 2012 R2 server. Using the typical uninstall procedure through the Control Panel results in a "Could not stop service" message. This is the message I receive regardless of whether I try to uninstall, repair, or reinstall the application. Can someone direct me to a list of the various files and registry entries that need to be deleted to effectively remove the application to the point where I can reinstall it again? Thanks.

98%FAILED: Unable to reconfigure the destination virtual machine. Win7x64
This topic has been written by automatic translation.
Please forgive me bad English.
I tried to convert the local machine of Windows 7 64 Bit.
However, the conversion does not complete with an error at 98%.
The content of the error is "FAILED: Unable to reconfigure the destination virtual machine."
A vmx file and a vmdk file are created at this point, but a blue screen error (0x7B) occurs when trying to start it.
I also tried unlocking the / 3GB switch according to vmware's KB, but it has no effect.
My Windows 7 is 64 Bit, so this KB will not be helpful.
I will attach an error log here.
i need your help.
Thank you.
