When you run the Microsoft Exchange Server Migration Wizard program to
migrate users from a Microsoft Mail postoffice, the following error
message may appear:
The selected Postoffice is read only. It must be writable.
CAUSE
The Master.glb file is unavailable. The error will occur if the file is
locked or missing.
RESOLUTION
Verify that the file exists and it is not being locked by another process.
If the file is locked open, close the file. On a Novell server, you can
determine the status of locked files by starting the MONITOR program.
Choose the file open/lock activity, and choose
VOLUME/DIR/SUBDIR/MASTER.GLB. This will yield a connection number and from
connection activity, you can find out who has the file open.
On a Windows NT server, the administrator can determine who has the file
locked or open by first selecting the Master.glb file in File Manager on
the server, clicking Properties from the File menu, and then clicking the
Open By... button. The Network Properties menu should list all processes
that have locked or opened the file.
