SYMPTOMS

During file conversion, the Migration Tool for NetWare (Nwconv.exe) enumerates the files to be moved. When it reaches four gigabytes (GB), the conversion utility starts over again. It does not finish the conversion process.

RESOLUTION

To work around this problem, select groups of files in smaller quantities to be migrated at a time. The amount needs to be less than four GB. You can perform as many migrations as needed to move all the data from the NetWare server.

STATUS

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