Good Day Everyone,
I am trying to P2V a domain controller so before I do the real thing I am testing the process out on a Windows 7 box. I have done an online P2V with this Win7 machine with no issue but I have to do an offline P2V for a DC.
On the Win7 box I have it configured with a static address. I go through the wizard using VMM2012 with no issue selecting "Use the following IPv4 address" and binding the MAC address. All checks come back without issue.
The Virtual Machine Client loads its driver and a virtual machine is created on my host machine. The Win7 box reboots into WinPE and simply has a command prompt with "wpeinit" on it and nothing more. Because WinPE does not contact the VMM server after 15 minutes it reboots and the process ends.
On my VMM server I see the process stops at "Create virtual machine" and gets stuck at "Copy Hard Disk" and "Boot the physical machine into WinPE". I am unsure what I am doing wrong in this process.
An ipconfig on the WinPE session does not show the IP address I have specified and no NIC is found as well. The event log shows
EventID:10009 Distributed COM
"DCOM was unable to communicate with the computer 10.10.80.201 using any of the configured protocols."
Guide I am using: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc917882.aspx
Any help I can get would be great service to me as I would like to complete this P2V sooner rather than later.
Regards,
ANolan
