SYS0234 Error with Net Admin Utility

• Microsoft LAN Manager, versions 2.0, 2.1, 2.1a, 2.2

SYMPTOMS

You receive error SYS0234 (more data is available), or Netlogon attempts to duplicate the UAS database and encounters error Net 3226 (error synchronizing) followed by SYS0234.

The problem occurs when Netlogon tries to update the BDCs and finds that the NET.ACC file is not getting updated completely, due to time-outs, and is becoming corrupted.

Other indications of a corrupted NET.ACC file:

• You try to add a user and are informed by a dialog that you need a minimum password length of 25000+ characters. When you go to the security setting screen you receive error sys0234.



• Windows NetAdmin issues an error 'panic' and then displays a default screen.

CAUSE

These problems usually are caused by the 64K buffer limitation of the OS/2 APIs used to acquire the data.

WORKAROUND

Use the Windows NetAdmin utility supplied with LAN Manager 2.1a or later, which uses a different method to retrieve the data and stay within the 64K buffer limitation.
