The Session is not Authenticated
When using the VMware vCenter Converter Standalone tool, you may find that when you get to step 2 - 'Specify Destination', you sometimes get the error 'The session is not authenticated'. There are two possible fixes that I know of. First, try killing the vmware-converter-a.exe process from task manager. If that does not work, you are probably converting a live machine, so go to that machine and recycle the 'VMware vCenter Converter Agent' service.

I had this problem and try all i could find. The solution for me was that the server i was trying to convert had the time 2 hours wrong. I set the time correctly. But it did not work. Only when i finally reboot it did it actual work. So i setup ntp on all physical servers, and the ESXi server as well. Now all is working.
ReplyDeleteI love reading books ever since I was a little kid. Now that I am a father myself, I encourage my kids to read good books. There are a lot of good books to read like the Chronicles of Narnia, Harry Potter or those which are written by Stephen King.
ReplyDeleteI had the same issue and it turns out that i needed to restart the agent service and tools on the live machine that is being Converted
