Just a callback to this thread. I was able to do my 2003 with IIS enabled apps by doing the boot to DSRM and run standalone VMWare Converter. Then come back up Virtual and then unplugged the Physical from the world. Thanks to all.

Sorry to not be any help, but know that it's indeed possible to do.

I have put the DC in DSRM mode. I have completed the steps to reload the VSS per KB articles but I am still getting the above error. My DC is a 2008 R2 that has had all of it's FSMO roles transferred to my new 2012 DC that has become my PDC Emulator. I would just offline the DC but it has User data on it that I don't have the time to migrate to an actual member server instead of this DC right now. Has anyone successfully P2V'd a 2008 R2 DC or my last DC which has legacy apps on it a 2003 DC with no roles either? Please let me know what you have done to fix VSS errors in P2V??
