Trouble Shooting
1. If the Quest Desktop Migration Tool “gwdtapp.exe” fails after you type in ID and Password verify the Archive location of your GroupWise acrchive was correct. You can verify this by Loging into GroupWise , go to Tools, then options and then File Location tab. Make sure to check the location path. Then go on your computer and make sure the archive folder is not hidden and is in that location.
2. If the archive still can’t migrate, it may be corrupt. Try the following to check the archive:
a. Make sure you are able to assess the archive using the GroupWise Client. Try to open new and old archive items. Try unarchiving a couple items.
b. Even if the archive is accessible, it may still have corrupt items. Make a copy of the archive. From the main window of the GroupWise Client, hold down CTRL & SHIFT and click FILE>Open Archive. This will force the archive to rebuild which may fix the corruption. Once complete, log out of GroupWise and re-run the SSDM.
