I am trying to P2V several servers running Server 2008 R2. They all fail at about 1 minute with the error:
Failed: Unable to create a VSS snapshot of the source volume.
Error code: 2147754767 (0x8004230F)
I have tried using VMware-converter-all-5.0.1-875114 and also VMware-converter-en-5.1.0-1023810. I have verified the Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider and Volume Shadow Copy services are enabled and running.
The evens logs show the following:
Cannot find anymore diff area candidates for volume \\?\Volume{de61058e-ec3e-11df-8b61-806e6f6e6963}\ [0]

The diagnostic logs are attached from one of the servers.
Any suggestions on how to fix this??
