Vmware Converter Could Not Stop Service
Build 44840 is a release build of VMware Converter.
The release notes contain the following:
Introduction to VMware Converter 3
VMware Converter provides an easy-to-use, scalable solution for migrations of machines, both physical to virtual and virtual to virtual. Optimized for mass migration, VMware Converter is equally effective for single-machine conversions. With its comprehensive and comprehensible wizards and task manager, VMware Converter imports virtual machines faster, with fewer manual steps required, and fewer source hardware limitations than other methods. Converter can, with its ability to hot clone, import with no downtime on the source physical machine.
VMware Converter combines and expands the functionality available in P2V Assistant and Virtual Machine Importer. It eases interoperability among VMware hosted products (Workstation, VMware Server, and VMware Player), VirtualCenter-managed ESX Server 3.x and 2.5.x, and unmanaged ESX Server 3.x.
New in Converter 3.0.1
Version 3.0.1 is a maintenance release of VMware Converter. It contains bug fixes described in Resolved Issues, and also incorporates the following new features:
VMware Converter imports VMware Consolidated Backup images
Converter can restore Consolidate Backup images into ESX Server machines, and can import them into VMware standalone virtual machines. Converter supports restoring Consolidated Backup images of any guest operating system type.

VMware Converter imports certain StorageCraft ShadowProtect images
Converter can import ShadowProtect images, with some limitations. These limitations include:
Converter can import ShadowProtect images, with some limitations. These limitations include:
- Dynamic disks are not supported
- All images for the backup of a machine should be in a single folder, with no other images placed there
- For volume-based cloning, all volumes in the disk up to the active and system volumes must have been backed up (For instance: a disk has four partitions, 1 - 4, with partition 2 as the active volume and partition 3 as the system volume. The backup must include 1 through 3)
- If it is an incremental image, up to 16 incremental backups are supported
- Images of systems with logical drives are not supported if the default boot (Windows) partition is on a logical drive.
VMware Converter provides an experimental command line interface for migrations
VMware provides p2vTool as a tool for migrating physical and virtual source machines with a command line interface. Support for this CLI is Experimental. Therefore, users cannot file SRs (Support Requests) to VMware for p2vTool-related issues.

Known Issues
This VMware Converter 3 release contains the following known issues:
GENERAL
Manual cleanup required of some Converter Agent files from remote source physical machine
In some cases, the automatic cleanup of Converter Agent files from the system on which it ran is incomplete. If there are vmware-ufad-p2v-XXXXX subdirectories remaining under %SystemRoot% on the remote source physical machine after completion of the import (either successful or failed), automatic cleanup was not totally successful, and might cause future import attempts to fail. To clean up manually (recommended), follow these steps:

- Remove all courier-XXXXX keys
- Reboot
- Under %SystemRoot%system32, remove all vmware-ufad-p2v-XXXXX subdirectories
Converter does not import Windows NT 4 with mirrored/striped volumes
Converter is unable to recognize logical devices in Windows NT 4 that span multiple drives. This includes striped and mirrored volumes.

Source with mixed IDE and SCSI disks might not produce a bootable virtual machine
A source machine with both SCSI and IDE disks has the IDE disks attached to the end of the disk list. If the source machine boots from an IDE disk, the target virtual machine created by Converter boots from the wrong disk because a VMware virtual machine looks for the first disk in the disk list. Workaround:

If the source machine boots from an IDE disk, the target virtual machine created by Converter boots from the wrong disk because a VMware virtual machine looks for the first disk in the disk list. Workaround:
- Boot the imported virtual machine and press F2 to enter the BIOS
- Go to the Boot menu
- Highlight the Hard Drive row and press Enter
- Change the boot order of the disks so that the system disk is first
- Continue
Incorrect reboot warning when installing Converter Manager only
When installing only the Converter Manager, and not the Converter Agent, on machines running Windows 2000 or Windows NT operating systems, you do not need to reboot despite the Custom Setup page in the installer warning that you need to.

Hot cloning fails with a source machine that is low on disk space
In trying to hot clone a machine low on disk space, the task might fail because there is not enough space for a snapshot of the source. Workaround: Make sure that at least 200MB of free disk space is available on the system volume of a physical source machine before cloning it. If the source operating system is Windows NT, add the size of required service pack and hotfix files to the free disk space requirement.

Sysprep deletes drive letter mappings if your task includes customization
If you choose customization options and the destination virtual machine fails at a 'Please Wait' screen after the second, sysprep reboot, you will need to rerun the import without customization. This problem occurs because of a problem with Microsoft's sysprep, which has deleted the drive letter mappings, preventing access to certain files.

Windows NT Terminal Server (SP3) fails on boot after import
Error message:
**STOP : 0x0000007B
INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE
When you import some Windows NT machines with old service packs, the resulting virtual machine might fail on boot up. Converter upgrades the virtual machine's file system during the import process, and Windows NT systems with older service packs cannot read upgraded NTFS. Workaround: Ensure that the SP on the source machine is high enough to read newer NTFS file systems (SP4 and above).

The 'Configure Virtual Machine' option should not be used on legacy virtual machines
'Configure Virtual Machine' automatically upgrades the virtual hardware and config file version of legacy virtual machines. If you run 'Configure Virtual Machine' on a Workstation 4.x or GSX Server 3.x virtual machine, the hardware version is irreversibly upgraded: you will need Workstation 5.x+, VMware Player 1.x+, or VMware Server 1.x+ to power them on after the configure operation.

Cloning dual boot systems
When hot cloning dual boot systems, you can clone only the default operating system that boot.ini points to. If you want to clone the non-default operating system, change boot.ini to point to the other operating system and reboot. Once you are booted into the other operating system you can install Converter and hot clone it.

Resolved Issues
The following are known issues in Converter 3.0 that have since been resolved.
GENERAL
- Converter 3.0 could fail in a hot clone of a physical machine configured with dynamic disks. Release 3.0.1 corrects this problem.
- Converter 3.0 permitted users to mount a read-only network share as the %TEMP% directory during cold cloning, which would result in an error. Release 3.0.1 corrects this problem.
- Cloning of some hosts, especially if they had diagnostic partitions, could fail during post-processing with 'can't create undo folder' error messages at the end of the log. This release fixes the problem by correcting the handling of boot.ini.
- Converter decreased RAM by 4MB in the destination virtual machine. This problem is fixed in this release.
- Converter could fail if you selected 0 NICs in the destination virtual machine and also selected any Customization options. Release 3.0.1 corrects this problem.
