If you want just the number of search results without actually receiving 
the results then this is not possible with LDAP. LDAP client tools which 
pretend to only count results also retrieve them. You can limit the 
amount of network bandwidth by querying results without the attributes 
of the entries.

There is a solution for some special cases: Some LDAP servers are 
maintaining so-called operational attributes indicating e.g. the number 
of direct subordinates entries or the total of entries within a subtree. 
But this is vendor-specific.

So which searches are you doing and which server is used?

Ciao, Michael.
