RE: MSDSS Failing on some objects with 0x8007200b

Dear Customer,

Thank you for using newsgroup.

We mainly focus on Windows server migration related issues here in this
newsgroup

microsoft.public.windows.server.migration

To ensure that you are best served, I would like to suggest that you open a
new thread in our Netware queue.

microsoft.public.win2000.netware

The engineers and newsgroup members there are more experienced on related
issues, and should be able to provide you with suggestions on this kind of
issue.

I'd like to share some knowledge with you.

According to the detailed log you provided, the most reasonable cause
should be the importing of NULL value in some attribute while synchronizing.

Normally, if an attribute in NDS has no value, MSDSS will not attempt to
write that attribute to Active Directory. However, if the object in the
Novell directory has become corrupted, a whitespace value may be read for
one or more of the attributes. MSDSS will then attempt to import the
attribute with a null value, which will fail with the error.

Refer to your log:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------
AddObject: CreateObject CN=100822,OU=Novell OU,DC=twc,DC=pvt failed:
0x8007200b

Replace 1 [4]00000000
---------------------------------------------
We can found out that some attributes like 'telephoneNumber' has a NULL
value that will exactly result in the importing error.
