Dsget bug for more than 1,000 members ? What else can I use.

[Marlon Brown]

Hi there,

It seems dsget (Win2003)
dsget group DNGROUP| -members}]

is able to list members of small groups I have, but it returns nothing for
groups that has more than 1,000 people.

I've seen "ADFIND" tool by Joe Richards, but if anybody can show me which
command line I can use to accomplish the same that I would
with dsget -members, please let me know.

This works for me, modify size limit and page size

Set objConnection = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") ' Create a Connection
object in memory
objConnection.Open "Provider=ADsDSOObject;" ' Open the Connection
object using the ADSI OLE DB provider

Set objCommand = CreateObject("ADODB.Command") 'Create an ADO Command
object in memory, and assign the Command _
objCommand.ActiveConnection = objConnection ' object's
ActiveConnection property to the Connection object

objCommand.Properties("Page Size") = 100
objCommand.Properties("Size Limit") = 3000 <--- Will change 1000 default
to 3000 records ++++++++++++++++

objCommand.CommandText = _blah, blah, blah, blah, blah

Set objRecordSet = objCommand.Execute

Are you saying that this is the script that can make dsget -member work with
up to 3,000 objects ?

This works for me, modify size limit and page size

Set objConnection = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") ' Create a Connection
object in memory
objConnection.Open "Provider=ADsDSOObject;" ' Open the Connection
object using the ADSI OLE DB provider

Set objCommand = CreateObject("ADODB.Command") 'Create an ADO Command
object in memory, and assign the Command _
objCommand.ActiveConnection = objConnection ' object's
ActiveConnection property to the Connection object

objCommand.Properties("Page Size") = 100
objCommand.Properties("Size Limit") = 3000 <--- Will change 1000 default
to 3000 records ++++++++++++++++

objCommand.CommandText = _blah, blah, blah, blah, blah

Set objRecordSet = objCommand.Execute

I ran the one below and get error on line 3:
"Aguments are of the wrong type, are out of acceptble range, or are in
conflict with one another"

Maxpagesize in my environment is set to 10,000 (I tried to subsitute that
value in the script below, and it failed same way).

Set objCommand = CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
objCommand.ActiveConnection = objConnection

objCommand.Properties("Page Size") = 1000
objCommand.Properties("Size Limit") = 2000

This works for me, modify size limit and page size

Set objConnection = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") ' Create a Connection
object in memory
objConnection.Open "Provider=ADsDSOObject;" ' Open the Connection
object using the ADSI OLE DB provider

Add the -LIMIT 0 to the end of the DSGET.

I input -LIMIT 0 in the end of my valid and tested dsget command, and it
returns 'invalid command'.
I thought -LIMIT was related to dsquery...

You can use the -limit command or use adfind which is on the free win32 tools
page of www.joeware.net

I can't understand what I am missing then. I run the valid command below:
C:\>dsget group -members "cn=mygroup,ou=student,ou=studentall
dc=it,dc=test,dc=com"

OK

Then I run

C:\>dsget group -members "cn=mygroup,ou=student,ou=studentall
dc=it,dc=test,dc=com" -limit 0

And I get:
dsget failed:`-limit' is an unknown parameter.

What am I missing ?
