Backup Exec 2012 - P2V Restore to ESXI 5.1 Failure

rdstack

Greetings,

I am attempting to restore our first physical to virtual server with Backup Exec 2012. Within 3-4 seconds of starting the convert, I get the error below. 

“Convert servername to Virtual 00001 -- The job failed with the following error: Failed to authenticate with the target server required for creating a standby copy.  Verify that you are using the correct credentials to access the target server”

I know I have the correct credentials entered when I created the P2V job to access my ESXI server as I can't pick the correct Datacenter on the Conversion Settings window unless I use correct credentials to ESXI. At this point I am at a loss as to why I am getting this error. Also I have turned on the debug to capture any errors but nothing it reported when it fails. I am unaware of other credentials areas I could be missing or entered incorrectly.

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

R
