When you use the Migration Tool for NetWare (Nwconv.exe) to migrate
accounts and data from a Novell NetWare server to a Windows NT domain
controller, the files are migrated but an error occurs for each user
account. The error log shows the following error:
Error Saving User <username>
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, follow these steps:
- In User Manager for Domains, click Account on the Policies menu.
- Change the minimum password length from at least 6 characters to match
the password settings you specified using the Migration Tool for
NetWare.
STATUS

3.51, and 4.0.
