Unable to connect to the remote VMware Converter Agent

[ANSA]

I am trying to V2V a W2K server from our legacy VMware 2.5.x infrastructure to our vSphere infrastructure.

I have done several servers from the legacy infrastructure without issue.

On this particular server, however, fails with the error "Unable to connect to the remote VMware Converter Agent"

The log below points to the IFC$ share.

Any suggestions to a solution would be appreciated.

Looks perhaps like firewall on the server. Install the converter directly on the machine you want to convert or temporarily disable the firewall.
