I'm trying to use the P2V wizard in SC12VMM to virtualise an old XP box.
The wizard keeps failing, with a range of errors.
Attempt 1
Error (3154)
An internal error has occurred trying to contact an agent on the trcmay092 server.
The remote procedure call failed (0x800706BE)
Recommended Action
Ensure the agent is installed and running. Ensure the WMI service is installed and running, then restart the agent.
Information (20524)
Virtual Machine Manager has added the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate with thumbprint obtained from the computer trcmay092 to the Trusted People store of the VMM management server.
At the same time, on the XP machine (a user account was logged in at the time), an error was displayed
VMM P2V Agent has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Send Error Report?
More Details - EventType: BEX P1: vmmP2VAgent.exe P2 3.1.6011.0 P3: 50aabaef P4: vmmP2VAgent.exe P5: 3.1.6011.0 P6: 50aabaef P7: 0014765e P8: c0000409 P9: 00000000
I clicked 'send error report', and waited. Nothing happened in the VMM P2V wizard. Further wait. Eventually I shut down the XP machine and finally VMM P2V wizard said
An internal error has occurred trying to contact an agent on the trcmay092 server.
Ensure the agent is installed and running. Ensure the WMI service is installed and running, then restart the agent.

Attempt 2
Broadly similar - this time logging on to the XP machine took an extraordinarily long time, this time the error was
Error (410)
Agent installation failed on trcmay092.
Call was canceled by the message filter
Recommended Action
Try the operation again. If the problem persists, install the agent locally and then add the managed computer.
This time - SC12VMM itself crashed somehow
Error (1700)The Virtual Machine Manager service on the XXXXXXXX server stopped while this job was running. This may have been caused by a system restart.
Recommended Action
To restart this job, navigate to the Jobs view and select the job in the results pane. Then, in the Actions pane, click Restart.
Attempt 3
Error (408)trcmay092 has an unsupported version of the Virtual Machine Manager agent installed.
Recommended Action
Uninstall the Virtual Machine Manager agent using Add or Remove Programs on trcmay092, and then try the operation again.
I uninstalled the P2VAgent from the XP control panel and tried again... leading to

Recommended Action
Ensure the agent is installed and running. Ensure the WMI service is installed and running, then restart the agent.

How can I go about troubleshooting this, please?
