FAILED: Unable to create a VSS snapshot of the source volume(s). Error code: 2147754758 (0x80042306). - VMware

I was getting this error trying to convert a couple of physical machines to virtual machines.

FAILED: Unable to create a VSS snapshot of the source volume(s). Error code: 2147754758 (0x80042306).

None of the other blogs or posts were able to help me fix it.

Resolution: The VSS settings on the HDDs were somehow set for 32mb. VSS requires a minimum of 300mb.
