It's been some time since I've used this tool so curiosity got the best of me. I looked in one of the Microsoft NT4 training manuals and found the following tidbit:
"The Windows NT Server Migration Tool for NetWare is used to migrate NetWare servers to computers running Windows NT Server. This tool transfers user and group accounts, login scripts, and files and directories form NetWare servers to Windows NT server domain controllers."
It makes sense that the transfer of user accounts/groups and login scripts would fail but not the transfer of data only (even though it says otherwise). Were the attempted migrations of data only? If so, then you're initial assumption that the tool only works with domain controllers was correct.

It doesn't matter for those questions, but, I also checked those before, and were positive. I'm not for sure, but with this tool, I can see the NetApp, can select it, but when press the OK button, the NT PDC comes with the message I told before. I think it is a problem with this tool that it can only apply this migration on a NT PDC, and not an external filer (although it sounds stupid..).
