I am, however, able to remote desktop onto the system using the exact same credentials I used when running the remote conversion. When I tried to remotely convert the system, I checked the system when the error occurred and found that, in this case, the services were not even loaded. All got to the point where the services were loaded, but could not be started. I also tried logging on locally using the administrator account. I tried logging on to the domain using the users logon (which is the way the other 4 systems were running when converted), and the domain controller. There is a group called Domain Users in the AD. I checked that all the service dependencies listed on vmWare's website were running. In fact, I did nothing to the other systems before conversion, just installed and ran. I also had no problem with Office on the other systems.

This is the exact same version that I used for the other 4 conversions.Īll anti-virus software is removed from the system, but that wasn't a problem with any of the other conversions. The version of vCenter Converter Standalone I am using is version 6.2.0 - build 8466193. I have virtualized 4 other systems and successfully activated each of them over the internet using the original product keys. What version is the convertor, you need older ones to convert XPįrom a security perspective XP should be contained and away from the main network and definitely the internet, virtualizing them may put you at a greater risk if not secured properly.

Virtualizing a desktop requires SA or VDA licenses, as well as the OS license itself, both come at a cost and VDA licenses are not typically bought for a handful of devices, they generally get used for larger scale VDI setups.Īll of this aside to show willing - what version or VMware are you migrating to, workstation or ESXi and what version? If your XP machines are OEM, you cannot move them, period, they must remain on the hardware they come with - you can virtualize them, but it needs to remain on the same tin it came with.Ģ. Most things are technically do-able, but Microsoft require specific licenses for what you want to do.ġ. You have a couple of non-technical questions to answer first - and not to me, but to yourself to know you are covered license wise. I am hoping that someone else has had this problem and found a way to resolve it. I have read through many different forums for solutions to this, and have tried them all, with no success. This is the last one I need to convert, and I can't.


I have successfully converted 4 other systems in the office without problem.

Finally, if I try to convert the systems remotely through an installation on a Windows 7 system, it fails with an error code of 1603. If I try to start a service from windows, it fails with an error code of 1053. If I check the services that are installed at this point, I can see all three VM services are installed (server, client, and agent) but not running.

This happens whether I try to install it while logged on to the domain or logged on locally.

When I try to install the converter on the system, it stops at "starting the services" and fails with an error code of 1920. Because of a legacy control app, we cannot just retire the XP system, but we feel the need to get the system off the existing machine because of its age.

I am trying to convert a Windows XP SP3 system to a VM using vcenter converter standalone.
