Use search constraints to search Active Directory servers which list more than 1000 users.

In Groove Manager, you can import users from an Active Directory server, and optionally leave them linked to that directory, so that changes to the user profile in Active Directory propagate to the Groove domain. To do this, as part of adding the member to the Groove domain, you search Active Directory for the users you want to import.

Today's post is about a known problem performing this search. Theoretically, Groove Manager has a search retrieval limit of 1000 users. In a constrained search, that limit works. However, if the directory has more than 1000 user profiles, and you do an unconstrained search from Groove Manager (presumably in an attempt to display all users), then Groove Manager will return fewer than 1000 users. If you attempt the same search again, the number of users returned will stay consistent, as if Groove Manager was unable to see certain users in the directory.

To work around this problem, put qualifying information in the search fields. Given search constraints, Groove Manager will return up to 1000 user listings.
