Yup...it seems to be a 1000, don't know if that is the MS default though.

Nope. I have no control over the server and the Exchange/ldap server team are
not going to raise the current limit.

The only thought and suggestion I've had about this is to use ascript to
return all the users who's names begin with 'a', then 'b', 'c' and so on. To
ensure that no single letter goes over 1000, I may need to use 'aa', 'ab',
'ac' and so on. It's not nice, but hopefully it'll work.

John.
