69BConfigure Source Servers for RPC
Source servers must be configured to allow RPC calls.
1. Add this key below to the registry of the source server:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Rpc\Internet
2. Add these parameters to it:
-Ports (REG_MULTI_SZ). Specify a range of ports used for RPC connections
(e.g., 5000-5100).
3. Add these ports to the firewall exception list:
PortsInternetAvailable (REG SZ). Value: Y
UseInternetPorts (REG SZ). Value: Y

70BUsing a Setup File Location
To convert a Windows system vConverter requires access to certain files from the
Windows installation. In most cases, you will find these files in one of these locations:
• %windir%\Driver Cache
• %windir%\ServicePackFiles
Occasionally, an administrator will have to remove the files from these locations
manually or programmatically by running the SFC /PURGECACHE command. If this
becomes necessary, a message displays.
When system files required for conversion are not found in the system being converted,
those files and service pack source files must be extracted and made available in the setup
file location.
If you are converting a system that has a service pack installed, obtain the original service
pack and extract it to a location that you specify in the setup file location. If there is no
service pack installed on your source server, configure the Setup File Location as the
i386 directory from your original installation media.
