Thanks, Tim. I've just subscribed to the python-win32 mailing list and I'll copy this post to it. So, my task, in this instance is to retrieve the membership list of a 1650 member AD security group. That means the group has a 1650 item multi-value attribute. It's refusing to send more than 1500, of course. Since this isn't about objects, page_size and size_limit don't *appear* to help. Instead, last night I was working on a technique called "range retrieval."
Ah, sorry. I didn't read closely enough. Range retrieval is a pain because you *have* to be retrieving at least as many items as you're requesting, so you can't just say "give me 1-20,000", knowing that it'll work every time. I've been struggling to find a clean way to include this in my slightly improved AD interface, but haven't found one yet :(. I must confess I didn't realise it would actually cap the retrieval if you didn't include a range. I don't think any of our groups have as many as 1500 members. Didn't know about that -* trick on the last loop, either. You live and learn.
