Can someone forward me the authorative guide on the Active
Directory (OU) Organizational Unit limit. It was my
understanding that a "container" or "OU" can only have
1000 users in it. Just wanted to confirm, as we have to
add more than 1500 users. I just don't want to throw these
users (1,500) in one OU and find out later on that AD's
limit is only 1000 per OU.

Regards,
James
 
There is no practical limit on OU size. You probably mixed this values with
default LDAP search result size. LDAP search (if you don't use paged mode)
by default returns maximum 1000 records.
