Task Category: LDAP Interface
Level: Information
Keywords: Classic
User: lab\svc-ar
Computer: labdc1.lab.local
Description:
Internal event: The LDAP server page token cache size has exceeded the maximum limit. Each page token in this cache corresponds to an ongoing LDAP page search. The oldest page token will be discarded and the corresponding LDAP paged search will not be able to continue.
Number of result sets currently stored:
7
Current Result Set Size:
3c540
Maximum Result Set Size:
40000
Size of single Result Set being discarded:
42192
User Action
Increasing the Maximum Result Set Size will allow LDAP server to expand the page token cache. Please refer to this web page for more inforamtion: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=389591 -
Causa
In environments with a large number of Dynamic Group (hundreds of groups) or with an environment with very large Dynamic Group memberships (hundreds of thousands of members), it is possible that too many group membership operations are simultaneously queued up and Active Directory LDAP Policy defaults are exceeded.
Event ID 2899, shown in the description above, includes the following link to a Microsoft resource:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=389591
This resource clearly states:
<quote>
When you see events 2899 logged on your domain controllers[...]. If your DC/LDAP server runs on a machine with sufficient memory (several GBs of free memory), we recommend you set the MaxResultsetSize on the LDAP server to >=250MB. This limit is large enough to accommodate large volumes of LDAP page searches even on very large directories.
</quote>
NOTE: The default MaxResultsetSize value is 250KB.

Risoluzione
Increase the MaxResultSetSize in the LDAP Policy associated with the Active Directory Domain Controllers leveraged by Active Roles Dynamic Group operations when Event ID 2899 is encountered on the target Active Directory Domain Controller.
The default LDAP Policy can be changed without a Domain Controller restart. If a custom LDAP Policy is assigned, this will require a Domain Controller restart.
For more information on increasing the MaxResultSetSize or creating a custom LDAP Policy, consult Microsoft resources or contact Microsoft for assistance.
Enhancement request ID 476498 has been created to optimize Active Roles functionality as much as possible to try and avoid exceeding Active Directory defaults. That being said: eventually, if an environment gets too large and too busy, Active Directory default limitations will be exceeded and will need to be increased.
