If you are getting NICI errors when eDirectory is trying to load or when you are copying the NICI files in Migration Wizard, this might mean that your NICI files are corrupt. To correct the problem, follow these steps on the server that is getting NICI errors:
Copy the *.nfk file from NetWare 6.5 CD 1 (Operating System) to the server’s sys:system directory.
Rename the *.nfk file that you just copied to nicifk (this has no extension).
Go to the Novell Support Web site and download nrepair3.exe.
Extract nrepair3.exe and locate nrepair.nlm.
Run nrepair.nlm on the server, clicking at all the prompts.
Reboot the server.
Load pki.nlm on the server and verify that you are no longer getting NICI errors.
If you still see NICI errors, refer to TID #10025666 in the Novell Knowledgebase.
