vConverter v4.1 Chapter 2 Installation 33
In order for vConverter to function properly, there are some general security
configurations that need to be set:
• You must have administrator access to the client machine on which vConverter
will be installed.
• You need an account with full administrative rights for each source and target
server to be configured.
• Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) and Remote Procedure
Call/Distributed Component Object Model (RPC/DCOM) must be enabled on the
network. Confirm that WMI has not been disabled through Active Directory
security policies.
• Port 135 must be open. (WMI relies on RPC/DCOM, which communicates over
port 135.)
Warnings: If a source and target are not in the same domain and there is not a bilateral
trust set up between the two domains, conversions will fail. If the client and source
cannot contact each other, conversions will fail.
