SYMPTOMS
Before you perform a migration, a group on a Novell NetWare server, for example GROUP1, is a member of "print server operator." On the computer running Windows NT, which is the migration destination, a group with a duplicate name already exists. When you choose the "add prefix: nw" option for duplicated group names using the Migration Tool for NetWare, after migration GROUP1 belongs to the "print operator" group, but NWGROUP1 does not belong to the "print operator" group.



RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, add the prefix "NW" (without quotation marks) to the group on the NetWare server before you begin the migration process. For example, if the group is named GROUP1 on both the NetWare server and the computer running Windows NT, rename the group on the NetWare server to NWGROUP1.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT versions 3.51 and 4.0.
