The VMware converter requires a UNC path name as a destination.
At first I tried a UNC path to a local drive on the vSphere client machine which is on the same subnet as the target. Every time I started the transfer I would get a message saying the authentication failed but yet I am positive that I provided the correct user name and password. I set up shared drives, folders, added everyone with full permissions but nothing worked. I kept getting an authentication error.
When I used a UNC path to a mapped drive on a server that we use as a data repository then it transfers worked OK. This is how I finished the first test cycle and had no issues.
If you have a procedure or general instructions I can try it but I think that VMconverter is not going to let me push the conversion directly to the ESXi server due to the UNC issues that I have had.
Thanks!
