RE: [ActiveDir] Softerra's LDAP Browser

Hey Tom, try not to even utter "I think you can fun ntdsutil to change this" when people talk about not being able to list more than 1000 objects in an LDAP query. :o)   The correct answer to this is *always* correct it at the client by say... enabling paging. If the client software being used doesn't allow paging to be used, use something else and beat the vendor. I have seen a couple of times where people kept getting bigger and bigger directories so they kept cranking that number up and then after a while they started wondering why the DC would slow down sometimes or eat up lots of resources.   The value can be tweaked, if you have a good understanding of what you are doing and why and I recommend playing with it in a lab before going to production. As a general rule though, best to leave it alone. I have not yet found it necessary to have that value modified and I have played with several of the largest AD's deployed.     joe     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kern, Tom Sent: Tuesday, May 10, 2005 4:29 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Softerra's LDAP Browser I thought by default the max # of records that can be retrieved from a query is 1000.   I think you can fun ntdsutil to change this or better yet, if running against win2k, you can use paging. you set it with ldp.exe and an ldap control( i forget the number). also with win2k3 you can use VLV -----Original Message----- From: Creamer, Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 10, 2005 4:21 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Softerra's LDAP Browser I’ve been playing around a little with Softerra’s LDAP Browser (the freeware version), and I can’t seem to be able to get it to return more than the standard 1000 records in the result set. The FAQ says to set the entry count limit to zero, but I still only get 1000. Has anyone else used this tool and figured out how to return all records? I’d love to use this thing as an ad hoc query tool.   Mark Creamer Systems Engineer Cintas Corporation   This e-mail transmission contains information that is intended to be confidential and privileged.
