Hi Joe,

Thank you veru much for you reply.

We actually used to be using Azman but we switch to AD. We had some issues
regarding ClickOnce, Windows 2003 AD Domain Level

Thanks
Henrik

If it makes you feel better, we have about 60,000 groups in our AD and it
works fine.

However, I'd suggest you have them take a look at a Microsoft
authorization framework called AzMan. It provides a nice method for
doing granular application-level permissioning based on a concept called
"operations" that are mapped into roles and eventually into AD security
principals (users and groups).

Hi Tomasz,

The reason for the 200 groups is that the application is using the
groups as granular permissions which then aggregates up into roles which
also is permissions groups.

The application is checking for permissions using standard .NET
Framework methods, so that should be ok.

Thanks

Henrik.

Hello,

I have an application which creates aprox. 200 AD security groups. I
have heard from a customer that there is a performance problem if you
have more that 200 ad groups, is this true?

Nope, there shouldn't be any if there isn't some badly written
application which is doing something weired with AD.

BTW - have You asked them what is a reason for 200 groups for single
app?
