Oh, I didn’t read below joe’s post. I should have.

 

So there are two possible things you’re hitting here:

1)       You are hitting the max # of values on the obj (as joe was eluding too)

2)       You are exceeding an admin limit as a result of a write of a huge attribute (for example, max size of an ldap operation)

 

If you could, take a sniff of the network operation and share the trace with us so we can see the exact frames being submitted and the reply from the DSA. We would know for sure what limit you’re hitting that way. joe’s guess is a good one (and probably right), but it’s not 100% clear to me that’s what you are actually hitting. It’s worth being sure before we conclude anything.

Putting me on CC is the way to get me to notice it faster. It hits a search folder that I watch that way.

 

In w2k we had a non-linked value limit of ~850 values. In 2k03 that moved to ~1300. Since we can have interop, we need to make sure we don’t break 2k when you introduce 2k03 so you don’t get the new ~1300 limit until you increase forest functional level to at least 1.

 

Error you get on 2k when you exceed ~850 is JET_errRecordTooBig (-1026 if I remember correctly).
On 2k03 if you exceed ~850 pre-forest functional level increase you get JET_errRecordTooBigForBackwardCompatibility, then if you increase forest functional level and try to exceed ~1300 I believe you get JET_errRecordTooBig again.

Ah, I was chatting with ~Eric on this exact issue previously about adding too many attributes to a single multivalued attribute. Once I hit the limit (around 850 or so attributes on 2K) I couldn't add any new attributes to anything, only modify existing.... We never went anywhere on that discussion and I am curious why this happens.

 

Since ~Eric hasn't responded to this I am guessing he lost the thread so I am going to do the Bat~Eric Call...

 

 

CARTE BLANCHE!

Ok, he created one user-defined ou , and added an object in that container.
Next, he opened ADSI edit , and added attributes for that object.  For example he has 3 attributes, and added 300 values for each attributes.

 

If he adds more than this values, the limit exceeded message appears: 


I received following error message ----- "The Administrative limit for this request was exceeded" -----

OS is win2k server sp4

 

Thanks for your help!

I could probably tell you which admin limit you’re exceeding if you tell me the OS version & service pack level.

 

Most admin limits are there to protect perf of the box & prevent against DoS attacks. Better than changing the limits would be to change the query to use LDAP RFC compliant ways to performing the action w/o changing lmits. For example, if the limit is # of objects returned per page, rather than using a huge page you’d do a paged search.

 

So the questions that would be of interest:

1)       OS and service pack level

2)       What is the action being performed (as an example, if this is a search, baseDN + scope + filter)

 

Thanks!

~Eric

I have a customer who has created an OU and populated it with objects that have many attributes.  He is now encountering this error:

 

"[LDAP: error code 11 - 00002024: SvcErr: DSID-02050AA0, problem 5008 (ADMIN
_LIMIT_EXCEEDED), data -1026
]; remaining name 'cn=CN\=JPRAKASH\,CN\=Computers\,DC\=jupiter\,DC\=lan,ou=S
ubscriptions,dc=jupiter,dc=lan'"

 

Is there a maximum size limitation for user defined objects in AD?

Can that value be modified?

Where would one modify it?  Would it be in the LDAP policies/protocols configuration?

 

TIA!

Steve
