Fix: User running the upgrade does not have ‘Replace a process level token’ privilege.

~ Ariel

While migrating Windows vCenter Server 5.5 to VCSA 6.5u2c this error was observed and corrected using the following steps.

  1. Open Administrative Tools > Local Security Policy
  2. Navigate in the tree to Local Polices > User Rights Assignment0014
  3. Open the ‘Replace a process level token’ policy
  4. Add the migration user, in this case I added ‘Domain Admins’0015
  5. Click OK, there is no need to restart the server before re-attempting the migration
