New environment settings like this will not take effect until the 
existing environment is removed. The db_recover command will clean out 
the old environment for you.

Yes, run db_recover. Better yet, upgrade to OpenLDAP 2.3, which does the 
recovery automatically.

As for being "stuck" on a "Windows LDAP 2.2.29" release - just install 
MinGW/MSYS and gcc on your Windows system and build the software 
yourself. It doesn't take much time. Even on my laptop  the full build 
only takes 11 minutes.

Symas will provide Windows packages to our customers upon request. I 
generally don't recommend running the OpenLDAP server on Windows because 
Windows itself is too unstable to be a viable server platform.The 
typical 2GB address space limit on 32 bit Windows makes for a pretty 
tight restriction on database size, and 64 bit Windows is still too 
immature to trust with important data. Overall performance on Windows is 
also much much slower than for Linux/Unix on the same hardware. From a 
pure performance standpoint, there's absolutely zero value in supporting 
this platform.
