I would like to use a 3rd party LDAP browser on my AD.
However the maxpagesize value is set to 1000.

What are the repercusions of changing this value to
something like 20,000 so I can see all objects. (I do
use filters at times)

This value seems unusually low for a default value.

Also, is this something that is set once domain wide or
on each domain controller?


Thanks -

There have been many threads on this previously as well.
The final answer is that it isn't recommended as it can lead to DoS and
general performance issues. You can do it if you *have* to, but it isn't
recommended. Further, if you use this approach you'll always have some
artifical ceiling on the # of items you can retrieve.

The recommended solution is to use paged searches. We implement paged
searches per RFC spec. Paged searches also don't impose the ceiling of sorts
I mentioned above.
