Although it is not the same problem that I have, I do have problems
with the "member of" filter (times out when crawling parts of the
Activie Directory - areas where my user does not have access). I
would really like to know how SPS accesses the Active Directory:

- How does it figure out which domain controller to connect to?
- Is it using a basic filter for its searches and can it be customized
(personally, I'd like to add "OU=company,OU=division" because we have
one single AD for the entire company, but I only want to use SPS for
one of its divisions).

Anyone from Microsoft that can answer this question?

Thanks ;)
