RE: [ActiveDir] 1000 groups

Tue, 12 Apr 2005 10:02:33 -0700

Group memberships are replicated in W2K3 per object as opposed to the whole group. In w2k there is a hard limit of 5000 members per group but a group can be nested in another group giving you virtually unlimited group memberships. The problem in w2k is that a change to any one member of a group requires full replication of the group.

 

In w2k3 the limitation was removed and now just the change is replicated as opposed to the complete group. So, long and short is that group replication in w2k3 is not as serious an issue as it was in w2k.

5000 is the 'recommended' limitation for groups on both Win2k and Win2k3 - but that limitation is only due to replication issues with AD.

Hi All:

Can an AD user be a member of more that 1000 groups?  Someone told me that 1000 was an AD limitation.   Is that true?

Thanks,

--Brian
