SYMPTOMS
When you run the Security Translation Wizard in the Active Directory Migration Tool (ADMT) on a Microsoft Windows Server 2003-based computer to update the access control list (ACL) for printers, you may receive an error message that is similar to the following:

E20251: Failed to enumerate the printers on the local machine, rc=122 The data area passed to a system call is too small.

Additionally, this error message is also logged in the Migration.log file.

Note The Migration.log file is stored in the folder where you installed ADMT. Typically, this folder in the %Program Files%\Active Directory Migration Tool folder.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because when you retrieve security information for a printer, ADMT checks if there is enough buffer to hold the data. If there is not enough buffer, a new buffer will be allocated. After ADMT successfully allocates the new buffer, the error status code is not cleared and you receive the error message that is mentioned in the &quot;Symptoms&quot; section.
