Maybe Eric or Brett will come in here with one of their really well informed explanations, but since I do not have nearly the same level of knowledge as to the inner workings of databases, here is my explanation:
The search is too broad. If you remove the objectcategory part from the filter, that may work. It appears that this was fixed in SP1 for 2003 so that is another avenue you can attempt. Good Luck.

We are searching against the GC with the following filter: (&(ANR=james)(objectclass=user)(objectcategory=person)) When we run this in LDP we get the following error: ----------- ***Searching... ldap_search_ext_s(ld, "(null)", 2, "(&(ANR=james)(objectclass=user)(objectcategory=person))", attrList, 0, svrCtrls, ClntCtrls, 100, 0 ,&msg) Error: Search: Operations Error. <1> Server error: 000020EF: SvcErr: DSID-020A09B3, problem 5012 (DIR_ERROR), data -1603 Result <1>: 000020EF: SvcErr: DSID-020A09B3, problem 5012 (DIR_ERROR), data -1603 Matched DNs: Getting 0 entries: ----------- This search should return around 80 entries. If we run the same search with the following filter (&(ANR=david)(objectclass=user)(objectcategory=person)) No error is returned and we get the results, returning around 30 entries. There would appear to be a cut off value of about 70 entries before this fails. If we remove the objectcategory=person search criteria both searches run successfully. We are running AD with 2003 Domain functional level. Any ideas?
