Perhaps a more relevant question is how
you are going to be distributing the load among servers – i.e. are you
looking at multiple servers, and what kind of clients? The PDC emulator can
take a big hit with a lot of downlevel clients. AD can handle it easily, but how
well will your server hardware?

Approx 57,000 student accounts I need in a single OU...
about 3,000 student labs PC to join the domain for policies...
Rob if AD supports over 10 million objects I shouldn't have a problem,
*hopefully*

of the questions that hasn't been asked of Rob yet, is what is your expectation
once you've loaded x number of objects.
What do you expect from it and how do you
expect it to function?

We have loaded up over 100,000,000 objects
in a single domain and divided them up amongst 52 OUs.

Computers and Users are represented as objects within AD... I can't
remember the exact number of objects which you can get upto but AD supports way
over 10 million (someone will telll u the exact number, if not then it will be
on the web). I have heard things in the past about some large corp's testing
upto a billion objects with success.

Hello
All,
I am new to this group but already can see that
the calibre of the
people present will be a great help...
I am curious to learn the number of user objects
that Active Directory
can handle in a single OU, it surely must have a
limit, any other
limitations to the number of PC's that can join a
domain etc would be
great as well.
Much appreciated,
