I use this menu function, then select Active directory but it does not allow more than 1000 imports?? Any reason for the ceiling??

There isn't any hard-coded limit for this in the network scanner.

So what happens exactly? You click Get from Active Directory and it returns exactly 1000 host names?

Active directory queries default to 1000. It maybe the NetScan is just using the default for the query. Hope that helps. -WS

I think WindowStar is on it and yes, basicly Andrew this is was happens,

  • Import from Active Directory, then get "The size limite for the request was exceeded"
  • Now I select "Import these lines into the main view"
  • SoftPerfect then return "1000 hostnames have been found in the input file, which must be......"

The moment I click import I get the following, <LDAP://DC=xxx,DC=co,DC=za> Perhaps one can change the default record import here in this string. Omitting it default to 1000 and perhaps specifying it can grow it beyond 1000. Hope so.smile

Thx

It appears that by default Active Directory does not respond to LDAP based queries that return more than 1000 results.

If you have more than 1000 hosts configured in Active Directory, increase the maximum page size (MaxPageSize) using the Ntdsutil.exe tool.

This article from Microsoft explains how to do it.
