Like that it’s better to specify the IP address instead of host name as a destination ESX Server, since you could have an issue there. Also you should test the ports necessary to establish a connection. Those are 443 and 902.
You can do it by using telnet:
To initiate a Telnet test to a port from Windows:
-
Open a command prompt. For more information, see Opening a command or shell prompt (1003892).
-
In the command prompt window type telnet <server> <port> , where <server> is the hostname or IP address of the server, and <port> is the port that you want to connect to.
-
Press Enter. To exit out of the Telnet application type Ctrl + ] and then type quit .
Run VMware Converter as a local administrator. Using a local administrator account removes any possible permissions issues. If you are performing a remote conversion, be sure to specify the login user as the Administrator account.
So here is the video.
There is much more links and how-tos, in the original KB article there.
