Home VMware vCenter Converter
Converter 100% Failed - ERROR: Unknown error returned by vcenter converter agent Print E-mail

I recently ran VMware convereter via a cold clone CD that completed, but said 100% Failed.

Additionally VMware converter also showed the following... 
Step 3 : Preparing target virtual machine
ERROR: Unknown error returned by vcenter converter agent
 
The guest OS customization box was not ticked however it tried to run sysprep anyway and failed.
The fact it says "Error while creating Customization deploy File: error creating archive" seems to show it didnt have any details for the sysprep file (because I didnt ask for it) and failed.
Following that shortly after "Image processing task has failed with MethodFault::Exception: sysimage.fault.CustomizationSysprepFault" confirms that it was trying to run a sysprep image processing task which failed.
 
Despite all this the VM was still created, bootable and fully working so panic was over but worth knowing what happened. As to why it happened maybe the box was ticked then unticked a boolean flag wasnt cleared? Who knows wasnt worth putting a call in to VMware as otherwise it was 100% successful.
