SYMPTOMS
Before you start the LAN Manager to Windows NT Advanced Server Upgrade, you must perform a complete LAN Manager server backup, which includes using BACKACC to back up the LAN Manager user account database [UAS] and the access control lists [ACLs]). When you run ACLCONV (the utility that converts LAN Manager ACLs to Windows NT permissions), root directory permissions (from a root ACL) are assigned to all subdirectories (even to those subdirectories that already possess permissions). As a result of having a Root ACL, subdirectory permissions on the LAN Manager computer (source) will be different than the subdirectory permissions on the Windows NT Advanced Server (target).



RESOLUTION
Make sure that you remove any LAN Manager root ACLs prior to running the upgrade utilities.
