   Yes, I reproduced the problem using rhel9 virt-v2v, because I saw that
the customer was also using rhel9 virt-v2v (version: 2.2), I saw that you
wanted to solve the problem by fixing the  date of the schtask command, but I
see that the schtask command used to install qemu-ga has been changed to the
one shown in "qemu-ga-command-rhel9.png" on rhel9
  Besides,  qemu-ga can be installed successfully after converting win11-efi
-UTC-8 guest on rhel8.9, which means I cannot reproduce the issue on rhel8
and the schtask command used for installing qemu-ga is old one as ''
qemu-ga-command-rhel8.png' ' shown on rhel8.9, so I'm not sure if
the fix can
be work with rhel9 virt-v2v

The \windows\temp\install-qemu-ga-x86_64.msi.ps1 script will
contain the actual install commands.

I'll send you an updated v2v package anyway.

Ming,

For some reason the build seems "stuck" at the moment, but
if it finishes could you see if this fixes the RHEL 9 case?

Thanks,
