All Groups in Ad are bound by this limitation. It only includes direct members.

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 03, 2002 12:39 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [ActiveDir] which W2K groups does the 5000 limit apply to? I have seen two references (.NET Magazine, Dec 2002, p19; Technet, Nov 2002, "Planning Your Commerce Server Installation") that indicate that Windows 2000 groups have a limit of 5000 users. Can anyone tell me what groups this limit is applied to? Is it just those groups created by an administrator or does it apply also to default groups (e.g., Domain Users). Seems to me if it included groups like "Domain Users", Windows 2000 could not be called very scalable. Any insight is appreciated! TIA.
