The number of threads would be a function of how the threads were using some key memory (amount of stack requested for instance ) and what is allocated by the linker options. I.E. Depending on how the program is compiled/linked, it could have differing numbers of threads. I think I recall once someone saying that in their testing they got a 2K box up to about 3000 threads for a single process. However, that isn't really realistic unless those threads are mostly sitting dead. ~Eric will probably pipe up with details if he is listening but you will get smacked around with context switching well before hitting 3000 threads in a process if the threads were doing any real work besides sitting and waiting for something.
 
With windows apps, generally better to look into thread pooling versus spawning lots of threads.
 
Not an AD issue in any way shape or form, this is entirely the realm of the application.  :o)

Subject: [ActiveDir] Windows threads?

Does anyone know if you can increase or limit the number of threads that Windows can handle?

If so is it avail in Group policy any where or just registry?

 

 

Thanks
