ACS SDDL string gets trimmed after 4095 characters

  • Article

In SCOM 2007 R2 and SCOM 2012/R2 the ACS SDDL string gets trimmed after 4095 characters. This is by design and can be overcome in SCOM versions greater then SCOM 2007 R2 CU6 by setting the following registry value on the ACS collectors:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\AdtServer\Parameters 
new -> MaxStringLength (DWORD)
This parameter accepts values between 64 and 16777216.
