Bug? Outlook 2003 can't handle LDAP, but Outlook Express 6 could??
Hello everyone; I have an annoying problem- I just upgraded to Outlook 2003,
and configured my company's LDAP server just as I did for Outlook Express 6. When I create a new mail message, and click on "To", the "Select Names" dialog box appears. Then I type a last name into the "Type Name or Select from List" textbox. When I choose my company's LDAP directory from the drop down, I get the message "Unable to display results because too many entries in the Internet Directory match your search criteria." Once this error occurs, I can then click on Advanced-Find and type in a last name. Then, when I click on OK (in Advanced/Find), the results from my company's LDAP server appear. It seems to me that Outlook 2003 is trying to load the ENTIRE ldap server in at once just to display all the names! I don't want the names to be displayed, I want to be able to do a search first. Is there a way to configure this? Or is this a bug? I searched the 'net, but most of what I found was dealing with Outlook 2k or XP- nothing with Outlook 2003. Thanks, -Thomas |

Diane, thanks for the quick reply! Search base is my company's org unit and
domain (example: ou=staff,dc=nowhere,dc=org), but I'm not sure where to set the max # of displayed contacts. I get the same error even if I search on an un-common last name.

is should be right above the field where you enter the search base and
default is 100 in my version. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Coauthor, OneNote 2003 for Windows (Visual QuickStart Guide) Author, Google and Other Search Engines (Visual QuickStart Guide) Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Join OneNote Tips mailing list: http://www.onenote-tips.net/ Vote for your favorite Outlook and Exchange utilities in the Slipstick Ratings Raffle at http://www.slipstick.com/contest/ "Thomas H" T@H wrote in message ...

Oh, okay, got it! Yes, it's set to 100. I even tried dropping it to 20,
and got the same result- and I even tried 10- same result. I also increased the timeout to 120 seconds. Is there a registry hack for this?

not that I know of, but let me check with people who use ldap more often
than I do. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Coauthor, OneNote 2003 for Windows (Visual QuickStart Guide) Author, Google and Other Search Engines (Visual QuickStart Guide) Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Join OneNote Tips mailing list: http://www.onenote-tips.net/ Vote for your favorite Outlook and Exchange utilities in the Slipstick Ratings Raffle at http://www.slipstick.com/contest/ "Thomas H" T@H wrote in message ...
