Re: max number of group memberships of a user?

The document Jorge Silva linked confirms what I read in a post by Joe
Kaplan, that the limit is 1024 group memberships. This was true in AD 2000.
I don't know about NT. There is no other issue (besides the "token bloat"
issue) that I am aware of. 15 is a very small number of group memberships
for a user. I have never heard of any way to extend the 1024 limit.

Thanks for all valuable discussions.
I encountered a similar problem a few years ago in a window NT/2000
environment where if a users' group membership exceeded 14 or 15 the
effective membership would be just 14 or 15, and there was a fix to extend
thios limit.
But I lost my track and could not find my records.
I thought windows 2003 domain would have a different limit.

Hi,
Is there a max number of group memberships of a user in a windows 2003
domain? I noticed that some user having more than 15 group memberships
may have some of them not in effect. If there is a limit of this number
how can I modify the default?
thanks in advance
