View and Change Active Directory MaxPageSize

 

MaxPageSize - This value controls the maximum number of objects that are returned in a single search result, independent of how large each returned object is. To perform a search where the result might exceed this number of objects, the client must specify the paged search control. This is to group the returned results in groups that are no larger than the MaxPageSize value. To summarize, MaxPageSize controls the number of objects that are returned in a single search result.
Default value: 1,000

 

Some LDAP clients can only receive the first 1,000 results when they make an LDAP question to Active Directory, when more results be that requite the query scope. If there are 2,000 results to be returned, the client will receive the “Size Limit Exceeded” error when the paging is not enabled or not present.
