-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.51, 4.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


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.
