NWCONV Migration May Change Domain Account Policy (187541)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q187541 SUMMARYMORE INFORMATION
If the Use Supervisor Defaults is selected in the Migration Tool for
NetWare, changes made to Domain User Account Policies and the NetWare
Compatible Properties for each specific user become the default user
properties in Windows NT.
SYMPTOMS
Using the Migration Tool for NetWare (Nwconv.exe) to migrate users from a
NetWare server to a Windows NT primary domain controller (PDC) may change
Domain Account Policies for users.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs if the "Use Supervisor Defaults" box is selected on
the Defaults tab of the User and Group Options dialog box. (NOTE: Use
Supervisor Defaults and Migrate NetWare Specific Account Information boxes
are selected by default.)
NOTE: Current user default settings may be reviewed on a NetWare server by
opening the SYSCON utility (NetWare version 3.x), and then, under
Supervisor options, look at the Default Account Balance/Restrictions.
(NOTE: NWAdmn3x.exe is the utility used on NetWare 4.x servers.)
RESOLUTION
If changes to Domain Account Policy are not wanted, click to clear the
"Use Supervisor Defaults" check box before migrating user accounts.
Otherwise, prior to migration, make changes on the NetWare server to
equivalent settings in Windows NT or, after the migration is concluded,
verify the Windows NT Account Policies and make the necessary changes to
restore the Account Policies to their previous settings.
