256986 Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry



SYMPTOMS
When you migrate data from a NetWare server to a Windows NT Server-based computer, some folder permissions (including the file permissions in those folders) may not be migrated.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs when a folder name is longer than eight characters.



RESOLUTION
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

To work around this behavior:  Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe). Locate the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NWRDR\Parameters

 On the Edit menu, click Add Value. Add the following value:

Value Name: LongNameFlags

Data Type: REG_DWORD

Data: 0x1 (hex)



NOTE: You can use the LongNameFlags value to enable or disable the long file name support on the NetWare client. The default setting is enabled (0x0).



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Migration tool for NetWare.
