Yep that was it. &nbsp;I got the Error code 1603 next when it tried installing the converter on that box. &nbsp;It's a Windows 2000 machine, mainly used for SQL 2000. &nbsp;Looked through the previous questions here and one suggests .Net 2.0 is required. &nbsp;Is that correct?<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
I'm trying to convert an active physical machine to a VM using the standalone converter. &nbsp;When I point to it, the converter comes back with 'Multiple connections to 'iis' by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed. &nbsp;Disconnect all previous connections to the host and try again.'<br />
<br />
I do have one or two of the drives mapped to my client workstation. &nbsp;Is that what it's talking about?<br />
<br />
Suggestions?<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />

Hi,

When I point to it, the converter comes back with 'Multiple connections to 'iis' by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed.  Disconnect all previous connections to the host and try again.'

I do have one or two of the drives mapped to my client workstation.  Is that what it's talking about?

Suggestions?

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
