Article: Q240135
Product(s): Microsoft Exchange
Version(s): winnt:5.5
Operating System(s):

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

- Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SYMPTOMS
========

The Exchange Server 5.5 Migration Wizard may fail to create Windows NT accounts
after selecting a Microsoft Windows NT domain from the list of available
domains.

CAUSE
=====

The Windows NT domain you selected may be a Windows 2000 domain that has a
two-way trust with a Windows NT 4.0 domain. The Migration wizard incorrectly
sees this domain and performs the usual Windows NT 4.0 account creation.

RESOLUTION
==========

Do not select a Windows 2000 domain when running the Exchange Server 5.5
Migration wizard even though it is visible in the list of available Windows NT
domains.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
Migration Wizard.
