SYMPTOMS
When you use the Microsoft Exchange Migration Wizard to migrate users from Lotus Notes or GroupWise systems, no mail is migrated, and the following error is logged in the Application event log:

Event: 12010

Source: MSExchangeMig

Type: Error

Description: Failed to initialize the Notes Migration session. Make sure 'ntsmig.dll' is in the 'exchsrvr\bin' directory.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the initialization routine tries to contact a domain controller for the current domain through Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). If the computer that performs the migration is in a Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 domain, domain controllers are not available through LDAP.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, make sure that the computer that performs migrations is joined to a Microsoft Windows 2000 domain.
