NWCONV requires Windows NT Domain Controller

WINDOWS

The NetWare Conversion tool (NWCONV.EXE) that ships with Windows NT Server version 3.5 facilitates the transfer of NetWare user and group accounts, and directories and files from NetWare 2.x and 3.x file servers to computers running Windows NT Server while preserving account information, and directory and file security.

While the migration tool ships with Windows NT Server version 3.5, it requires that the Windows NT Server you choose to accept the newly-migrated users and groups be a domain controller. Windows NT Server configured as a standalone server and Windows NT Workstation are not valid conversion targets.

When you attempt to choose a Windows NT Server that is not a domain controller the following STOP message appears

STOP: xxxxx is not a Windows NT Server

where xxxxx is the machine name of the Windows NT Server computer chosen for conversion.
