Converter Unable To Obtain Hardware Information

4/21/2019 
  1. Vmware Converter Unable To Obtain Hardware Information Hyper-v

I found this post which mentioned faking out the system by changing the source VM OS, so I gave that a try and changed my source VM from Windows 2008 R2 to Windows Vista, then tried to convert and low and behold, it worked like a charm!

Unable to obtain lock on

I have created a custom role similar to the Virtual Machine Power User (sample) and want to allow the role to export the virtual machines via VMware Converter Standalone but they are receiving 'unable to obtain hardware information for the selected machine'. A full administrator role does not have the error so I am thinking that there is a permission error.

That's it ! It worked like a charm ! Letters from iwo jima srt. Hope it helps someone !

Right click and run the standalone convertor as Administrator and/or Install the latest version of standalone convertor. The version that worked for me was 6.1.1 build
