Re: AD Groups

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry


Hitting this limit is not unusual. Large organisations have standard group
naming conventions and under certain circumstances, particularly with
resource data groups or user groups you can hit this limit. Sure we can
abbreviate certain parts to make them shorter, but why should we? It just
adds unnecessary complexity when trying to decipher cryptic ad groups names.

is there any way to get past the default 64 character limit in AD for
group names?
