Re: dsget limitations

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I don't find anything like a -limit in dsget, but you might try
adding -expand and also checking the version of dsget you are using. Version
5.2.3790.1830 came out in SP1.

dstools are supported and if you can repro this with the current version,
you should be able to get PSS to work on a fix.

...or use one of the other available resources already mentioned.
