SYMPTOMS

If you use the Migration Wizard to migrate Novell GroupWise user objects to Exchange 2000 Server, you may receive the following error message:

Event 15002 - MS Exchange MIG - Directory import failure, the number of fields in the value does not match the number of attributes in the header.

This problem may occur if a GroupWise user object contains an entry with multiple lines that are separated by carriage returns. The Migration Wizard parses the multiple lines and reads the carriage returns as separate fields. If this problem occurs, the migration does not work because the user object contains too many properties to migrate to Exchange 2000 user attributes.
