vCenter Converter error deploying agent

A week ago my collegue had a problem for p2v a machine. When she started the vConverter task from the vCenter after she compiled the form for IP, User and Pass the server reported an error: Cannot connect to the machine.

After some checks I found the problem: the vCenter server cannot connect to the machine for Domain trust problem. I suggested to my collegue to install manually the vConverter Agent on the machine and than the vConverter server can scan the data and the P2V worked fine.

The vConverter Agent is in this path "C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware vCenter Converter"
and the file has this name so explicit "VMware-Converter-Agent.exe"

my 2 cent.
