Thanks, Tim. I've just subscribed to the python-win32 mailing list and I'll copy this post to it.
So, my task, in this instance is to retrieve the membership list of a 1650 member AD security group. That means the group has a 1650 item multi-value attribute. It's refusing to send more than 1500, of course. Since this isn't about objects, page_size and size_limit don't *appear* to help. Instead, last night I was working on a technique called "range retrieval." Do you suppose I'm missing something? Range retrieval is documented here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367017(VS.85).aspx and the example that finally helped me get it working is here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa705933(VS.85).aspx This is what made it click: commandPrefix = "<LDAP://" & strGroupDN & ">;(objectClass=*);member;range=" commandSuffix = ";base" I needed to specify the full ADSPath to the group - the groupDN essentially. Until I did that, the query would blow up anytime I put in the bit about "...;member;range=1500-*;..." I'll be hacking around on this all morning.
