vCenter Converter 6.1のリリースノートの既知の問題に、UACに関する記述があります。
http://pubs.vmware.com/Release_Notes/en/converter/61/conv_sa_61_rel_notes.html#548870
User Account Control (UAC) prevents installing Converter Standalone agent if you are not using the default Administrator account to connect to a powered on source machine
If you are setting up a task to convert a powered on source machine that runs Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2012, or Windows 8 and you use a non-default Administrator account to log in to the source machine, the following error message might appear when you try to install Converter Standalone agent on the source machine: Insufficient permissions to connect to xxxxxxx
. Here xxxxxxx
is the IP address of the source machine. This is because Converter Standalone server cannot install Converter Standalone agent when UAC is enabled and you are logged in to the source as non-default Administrator user.
Workaround: Disable the UAC on the source machine before you start the Conversion wizard. You can search the Microsoft Web site for procedures on disabling the UAC depending on the source operating system. For Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8, in addition to disabling UAC, you must perform the following steps:
- In the Windows Start menu, type
gpedit.msc
. The Local Group Policy Editor opens. - Navigate to Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options.
- Disable the Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode setting.
- Restart.
質問のエラー内容と若干記述は異なりますが、権限の問題であるという点が共通です。
この問題については、以前のバージョンから既知の問題として存在し続けているようです。
また、vCenter Converter StandaloneのドキュメントにはソースマシンではUACをオフにするか、ローカル管理者アカウントを使うこと、と記述があります。

Turn off User Account Control (UAC) or use local administrator account on the source machine.
