Help with the Registry Key Mentioned in KB Article 281923

[Steve Quinn]

Hi

We have a customer with Windows Server 2003 who is getting the gray-haired
icons as detailed in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/281923/en-us. He does
not want this to happen. According to the article the 500 user limit can be
changed via a reg key. However the key mentioned does not not appear to
exist. How can I change the limit?

Thanks

Steve

SO??????

Just create it.

This is a per person limit.

To apply this to all domain members, use tip
9808 » PolicyMaker™ Registry Extension freeware in the 'Tips & Tricks' at http://www.jsifaq.com

or do it in the logon script.

For just one person, from there logon:
1. Open a CMD.EXE windows.
2. REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Directory UI" /V GroupMemberQueryLimit /T REG_DWORD /F /D 5000

where 5000 is the limit you wiush to set.
