SYMPTOMS
========

When you use the Migration Tool for NetWare (Nwconv.exe) to migrate Novell-based
servers to Windows NT, it does not provide a method to migrate printer queues.
Note that this behavior occurs even though this functionality is noted as
existing at the "Improving Netware to NT Migration" Microsoft Web site:

  http://support.microsoft.com/support/ntserver/migration/Improving.asp

CAUSE
=====

This behavior occurs because the Migration Tool for NetWare does not provide a
method for migrating printer queues. The Web site listed earlier contains a
documentation error.
