SYMPTOMS
========

When you migrate from Novell GroupWise 5.5 by using the Microsoft Exchange
Migration Wizard, the Migration Wizard may generate a Dr. Watson event. If you
are running the Migration Wizard on a Microsoft Windows 2000 Server-based
computer, the following event may be logged:

  Event Type: Information
  Event Source: DrWatson
  Event Category: None
  Event ID: 4097
  Description:
  The application, mailmig.exe, generated an application error. The error
  occured on MM/DD/YYYY at HH:MM:SS The exception was c0000005 at address
  672817E5.

This event is generated after you type the path to the Novell GroupWise 5.x
domain, account name, and password, and then click Next to start the GroupWise
startup process.

If you run the Migration Wizard on a Windows 2000 Server-based computer, the
Migration Wizard disappears from the screen and the Dr.Watson event is logged in
the Windows 2000 Event Viewer. On a Microsoft Windows NT Server version
4.0-based computer, the Dr. Watson event is displayed on the screen.

CAUSE
=====

This issue can occur because the GroupWise Client 5.5.3 Gwcmb1.dll file returns
unexpected results that cause the Migration Wizard to stop working. Although the
Mailmig.exe file generated an application error, the Mailmig.exe file is not the
cause of this issue.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this issue, downgrade the GroupWise Client that is installed on the
migration server to one of the following versions: 5.5, 5.5.1 or 5.5.2. If there
are issues when you reply to migrated messages from GroupWise 5.5 it may be
necessary to use GroupWise Client 5.2.x.
