We're trying to convert a physical Windows Server 2012R2 machine to Hyper-V.
New VM is created on the Hyper-V 2019 server, snapshot is taken with success on the physical machine but the conversion fails with error message in the GUI:
Creating output image file
Error creating image
Convertation failed
This is the log:

While going through the wizard we get to choose the location of the new VM files, credentials get accepted fine ... but somehow it cannot create the file. We cannot see where this goes wrong.
