Don't really need a "to the point" answer. The topic just came up in a
meeting at work and someone thought that you could only have about 5,000
users in AD. However, I know that I have read SOMEWHERE of a few companies
(or trials) that had a AD of over 1,000,000 users. That's all I'm looking
for, is somewhere that talks about it.
