SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to select a Windows NT Server as the destination for a NetWare conversion using Nwconv.exe, you may receive the following error message:
servername is not a Windows NT Server

CAUSE

Nwconv.exe requires the destination server to be a domain controller in order to be able to add user groups and Access Control lists. You cannot migrate (converge) Netware users, groups, directories, and files to a Windows NT Server configured as a standalone server or a Windows NT Workstation.

RESOLUTION

Select a Windows NT Server that is a domain controller for the destination server when you are using Nwconv.exe.
