Tell me how to move a physical machine from Microsoft Windows Server 2016 to a virtual environment VMWare ESXi 6.5? VMWare vCentre Converter 6.1.1 does not really want to work, it gives an error at startup that it cannot determine the credentials, and if you specify it with your hands, it swears that it cannot connect via port 443. At the same time, the port in the firewall is open, and netstat shows that there is nothing on port 443. When you try to go telnet to the port, chops off.

I climbed the forums, besides indicating that Converter does not have WinServ 2016 support, there is nothing.

    Try to completely disable the firewall and antivirus (if any). Do you have the VMware vCenter Converter Server service running at this moment? What's in the View Source Details logs in the OS event log?
