SYMPTOMS
When the Microsoft LAN Manager Extraction utility (LMEXT.EXE) attempts to extract more information than the program is capable of using, it may display the following error:

Error 234: Additional data is available but could not be retrieved



CAUSE
The LMEXT.EXE utility will not record any information into the import file. The error message appears when a system is accessed with approximately 600 users or when 32K of users are retrieved.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, perform the following steps:
 * 1) Prevent the users from accessing the system.
 * 2) Back up the server.
 * 3) Delete users until the number of users is fewer than 550.
 * 4) Run the LMEXT.EXE utility.
 * 5) Restore the server from the backup.
 * 6) Delete the 550 users whose definitions were created in the previous import file. (Repeat steps 4 through 6 if more than 1050 users are defined on the system).
 * 7) Run the LMEXT.EXE utility again.
 * 8) Restore the server from the backup.
