SYMPTOMS
When you use the Migration Tool for NetWare (Nwconv.exe) to transfer user and group accounts from a NetWare server to a computer running Windows NT Server, no user accounts are transferred. In addition, you see the following error message in the log file:

Error: getting groups on server: 



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if there are no groups other than the default EVERYONE group on the NetWare server.



RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, create another group (other than the EVERYONE group) on the NetWare server before you migrate the accounts to Windows NT.



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