Re: ADAM Group Size

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Note that if the group membership exceeds 1500 users, code that enumerates
the group will need to use range retrieval to get all the members back out.
This isn't a huge big deal, but is something to be aware of.

If a group started getting really large, I'd also consider nesting.

Is there a limitation as to how many users may be in a group in ADAM?

If group is using linked attribute as a place to store membership - I
don't think so. If this is unix style group and it is stored as
multivalued string attribute (not DN) this is ~1300.
