Sounds like you're also using an older version of Windows and hitting a different limit as I'd have expected AD to limit your results to 1000 (at a time).
To get more than that with .net or to work around the 1500 limit, you'll likely want to research ranging. Joe K is pretty good about this sort of thing. Maybe a direct ping or a note to the adsi newsgroups would get a better explanation.

The paging is a function of the client doing the LDAP query and conforms to the specs outlined in RFC 2696. If you read the RFC, you will come to agree that, although RFCs are not (strictly speaking) "standards", you are "expected" to page your LDAP queries.

Is it a question of performance? Why is the searcher not offered all records that meet the search criteria? Questions have arisen as to why MS implemented a limit since (apparently), other LDAP implementations do not enforce these limits. thanks, neil --------------------------------------- Neil Ruston Nomura International Plc Tel: 020 7521 3481 [EMAIL PROTECTED] PLEASE READ: The information contained in this email is confidential and intended for the named recipient(s) only.
