V2V failing with "Permission to perfrom this action was denied"

I'm trying to V2V a Citrix server and am having issues. I've already done this several times here the past few days with the same exact setup so I know it's not an issue with the application itself.

I've gone through many threads regarding this issue and have tried all of the following:

VMware Vcenter Converter Standalone 5.5 build 1362012

Source VM; WIndows 2008 R2 Citrix (XenApp 6.5) server

*Using domain admin account for credentials

*Explicitly added to local admin group on source VM

*Disabled UAC

*Disabled firewall

*Disabled anti-virus

*attempted with local administrator account on source VM

* Started app with admin rights

None of this has gotten me past the error. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Please don't post logs, attach them, also seems you can't install the Converter Agent due to wrong credentials:

The credentials used are domain admin credentials. Verified that they are part of the local admin group. I also tried using the local administrator account.

Any ideas?

The easy way for you is to install Converter Agent on source machine and try conversion again. HTH

the agent actually was being installed even with the errors.

I removed this and then manually installed and still had the same error.

I then tried the newest converter with the same issue.

I rolled back to version 5.0 and was able to pull past the error. Not sure why an older version was required but I am good now.

thanks for the help though.
