Environment
PlateSpin Migrate, Protect, and Forge with a Windows source server.
Situation
Discovered source machine is missing networking information. Entering the Advanced menu or Wizard to configure the conversion job displays "Index outside the bounds of the array" error.
Most commonly this is caused by a corrupt WMI provider on the source machine. Often due to third party network management utilities such as the Broadcom Management suite.
Confirm the reason for missing networking information
Run the following steps from the PowerConvert Server.
- Click 'Start' --> 'Run' --> Type 'wbemtest'
- Click 'Connect'
- Change 'root\default' to '\\<Source Server>\root\cimv2'
- Input the user name and password of the account used to discover the machine
- Click 'Connect'
- Click 'Query'
- Enter the following query (without quotes) "SELECT * FROM Win32_NetworkAdapter where MACAddress <> NULL"
- The screenshots below indicate a corrupt WMI provider for the network components.

Same query's result when run locally:
Resolution
Repair the corrupt WMI provider
Uninstalling the third-party management utilities or upgrading to the latest version of the utility can resolve this issue.
