While running the vSphere 6.7 VMware Migration Assistant I received the following error:<\/p>\n

This vCenter Server has extensions registered that cannot be upgraded to or may not work with the new vCenter Server.<\/p>\n

In my case, the extensions were no longer being used. \u00a0So, I chose to just remove the offending extensions.<\/p>\n

1. \u00a0Create a snapshot or backup of your vCenter server.
\n2. \u00a0Log into the Managed Object Browser (MOB).

<\/a><\/div>\n

4. Select\u00a0ExtensionManager.<\/u><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

5. Capture the\u00a0VALUE<\/u>\u00a0of the Extension you wish to remove. \u00a0(ex.com.vmware.vcHms):<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

6. Select UnregisterExtension<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

7. Enter the Value of the extension you wish to remove. \u00a0Then, select\u00a0Invoke Method<\/u>. \u00a0Confirm that \u00a0you receive the Result of\u00a0Void<\/u>.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

8. Confirm the extension is no longer in the extension list. \u00a0If so, delete the VM snapshot created earlier.<\/p>\n
