How do I
modify the number of Active Directory
objects to search?
By
default, the Windows 2000 Active
Directory searches 10,000 objects at a
time. This policy affects all browse
displays associated with AD, the
Microsoft Management Console (MMC)
Active Directory Users and Computers
snap-in, and the dialog boxes you use to
set permissions for user or group
objects in AD. As your organization
grows, you might need to change the
number of objects to search.
To set the
number for a group policy object:
-
Start
the MMC Active Directory Users and
Computers snap-in.
-
Right-click the container, and
select Properties.
-
Select
the Group Policy tab.
-
Select
the Group Policy Object, and select
Edit.
-
Select
the User Configuration branch, and
expand Administrative Templates >
Desktop > Active Directory.
-
Double-click Maximum size of Active
Directory searches.
-
Select
Enabled, and set the number (e.g.,
20000).
-
Click
Apply.
-
Click
OK.
-
Close
the Group Policy Editor.
To edit
the registry to set the number for a
user:
-
Start
regedit.
-
Go to
the
registry entry.
-
From
the Edit menu, select New > Key.
-
Enter
-
Select
the new Windows key, and from the
Edit menu, select New, Key.
-
Enter
-
Go to
the Directory UI key, and from the
Edit menu, select New, DWORD Value.
-
Enter
and
press Enter.
-
Double-click the new value, and set
the decimal value (i.e. 20000).
-
Click
OK.
-
Close
the registry editor.
For both
methods, the change will take effect
when the user logs on the next time. |
