SUMMARY
Some documents for the Migration Tool for NetWare (Nwconv.exe) state that when groups on a NetWare server are transferred to a Windows NT master domain, they are created as both global groups in the master domain and as local groups on the server specified in the Servers For Migration list.

This is an error in the documentation. Local groups are not created.



MORE INFORMATION
After you select the appropriate NetWare and Windows NT servers for migration, the User And Group Options dialog box appears and the Transfer Users To Trusted Domain option becomes available by clicking the Advanced button. This option is used to transfer users and groups to a domain other than the one in which the utility is being run.

The error noted above can be found in the Migration Tool for NetWare help file (Nwconv.hlp) in Windows NT 3.51 and 4.0, and also in the Windows NT 3.5 "Services for NetWare Networks" manual, pg. 91.
