VMware virtual export wizard hangs on Destination stage (4040025)

To resolve the issue, IPv6 should be disabled or IPv4 addressing should have a higher priority.

Please verify if IPv6 is having a higher priority by:

1. Open CMD
2. Issue command "ping localhost"

If localhost is resolving to 127.0.0.1 then IPv4 is having higher priority and nothing else need to be done. But if localhost is resolving to ::1 address, this means IPv6 has a higher priority. Please perform the following steps:

1. Stop the Core service gracefully ( How to stop the Core Service )
2. Open regedit
3. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\TCPIP6\Parameters
4. Create a DWORD (32-bit) value named "DisabledComponents" and assign a value of FF to it (255 decimal)
5. Reboot the server

Attempt the perform a virtual export operation again

If the problem persists, 

On the core, open the AppRecovery log file on the Core. ( C:\ProgramData\AppRecovery\Logs\AppRecovery.log ) 

Scroll to the bottom of the log file to find the most recent entries. If you see a timeout error like the following:

WCFClientBase.ServiceMethodCallTimedOutException: Call to service method https://hostname:8006/apprecovery/api/agent/metadata/fullMetadata PUT failed: Service method call timed out after 00:05:00.0068883 ---> Microsoft.Http.HttpStageProcessingException: GetResponse timed out ---> System.TimeoutException: GetResponse timed out ---> System.Net.WebException ---> System.Net.WebException: The operation has timed out

Then locate the protected machine and remove it from protection (keeping recovery points).

Attempt to perform the virtual export operation again.
