Another reason to go with another tool: converter will bring in your volume with the same partition alignment which most likely is 31kb on server 2003.

Windows IT Pro had a decent review of the products in this category recently: http://www.windowsitpro.com/article/virtualization2/comparative-review-p2v-conversion-tools We have a large vSphere environment, and typically use VMWare converter for P2V migrations. but on occasions where that fails we use PlateSpin Migrate. The amount of logging and diagnostics this product provides is impressive. Much more overhead than other products ( you need a dedicated PlateSpin sever).

I haven't had any issues with P2V'ing this process in the past, but this one is really causing me nightmares. The process gets to about 38% complete, then fails with Error 2940 VMM is unable to complete the requested file transfer. The connection to the HTTP server SERVERNAME.himaamericas.local could not be established. (Unknown error (0x80072ee2)) I have tried changing the WinRM ports, Windows Firewall isn't running on either machine, BITS is installed on both, I've been able to successfully create and store a temporary VM on the host, I've restarted both machines - nothing seems to get it to P2V successfully. What else can I try?
