Joe,
This may or may not help you in this situation but just
in case... Could you use a SQL View into AD and then create a Remedy form on top
of the View? I have that setup here with the ADSI linked server.
With SQL you could create elaborate coding that filters anything you
want.

Subject: Re: Very basic AD question...
To answer L. J., I'm already out of this project so I do not really have
the time and resource to write a plugin so that is out of question right now. I
just need to help them with the current setup to filter as much garbage as I
can... thanks for the suggestion though.. I do appreciate it..
Mathew, We do not have that 1000 record limitation as that has been taken
off from the AD server...
Our biggest problem is that their AD server had been populated with data
since time began as far as AD is concerned, so some of their data is a little
unstructured, giving me records of service accounts, process
accounts, printers, monitors, scanners, etc even though I have written
exceptions to exclude such accounts.. But while writting these exceptions, I hit
a limit, where the Vendor form created, automatically truncates characters after
255 characters, after you save the form, without even giving an error, but when
you try to browse the data from the form, you get that bad search filter error
returned from the AD, since the ldap query had been truncated...
At this point I have written exceptions that would take off maximum
garbage, and left out exceptions that would take off just a few records... thats
the best work around I could think of given that limitation...
Cheers

Another option might be to add the qualifications to the searches you
do against the vendor form.
The original question kind of borders on a question like:
"How do I set up a DB View to only show the *right* records from
the whole data set?"
(and one possible answer is use the *right* WHERE clause in your
select statement when ever you select from that table/view. :)
I would think the harder problem with AD would be the inherent "1000"
record default record limit. :) [ Or do most Windows domains have less
than 1000 users? :]
