A. When the NetWare migration tool (nwconv.exe) is run it tries to establish a connection to the domain controller, or specifically the ADMIN$ share. If it fails the error:
Cannot connect to server: <servername>
The Network name cannot be found
The Admin$ share can be disabled by setting AutoShareServer to 0 on the domain controller. To fix this perform the following:
- Start the registry editor (regedit.exe)
- Move to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
- Double click on AutoShareServer and set to 1. Click OK
- Close the registry editor
You should now reboot however if that is not convenient just type
C:\> net share admin$
which will create the share now and thanks to the registry change it will also be created at reboot time.
If AutoShareServer was already 1 or did not exist the it may be just admin$ has been corrupted so again type the command
C:\> net share admin$
to recreate.
