Active Directory user import

[ChathamDaleJ]

When I go to import users from AD, I get a partial list of AD users. It appears it only picks up 500 (I'm guessing) users. There is no way to get the next page nor have I found a way to increase the number.

This is likely a limit on the AD side, please login to your domain controller and run these commands to validate:

Code: Select all

ntdsutil.exe [enter]
ldap policies [enter]
connections [enter]
connect to server dc1.contoso.local [enter]
q [enter]
show values [enter]

The part that we are interested in is the MaxPageSize settings:

Example output:

Code: Select all

Policy                          Current(New)

MaxPoolThreads                  4
MaxDatagramRecv                 4096
MaxReceiveBuffer                        10485760
InitRecvTimeout                 120
MaxConnections                  5000
MaxConnIdleTime                 900
MaxPageSize                     1000
MaxQueryDuration                        120
MaxTempTableSize                        10000
MaxResultSetSize                        262144
MinResultSets                   0
MaxResultSetsPerConn                    0
MaxNotificationPerConn                  5
MaxValRange                     1500

Mine was set to 1000 so to change it, I ran:

Code: Select all

set maxpagesize to 5000 [enter]
show values [enter]
commit changes [enter]
q [enter]

Example output:

Code: Select all
