Mac OS X: First 1000 results displayed when querying Active Directory
When using tools or services that query Active Directory, only the first 1000 results may be displayed.
By default, the MaxPageSize setting in Active Directory's LDAP policy is 1000 results. To see more than 1000 results, Active Directory must be configured to return more results in a single query. See Microsoft KB 315071 for more information.
To see all results in a single query, the MaxPageSize must be set larger than the number of results returned. For example, a query with 2500 potential results would require a MaxPageSize setting above 2500 to see complete results returned. Because the actual setting needed will vary depending on the Active Directory environment and type of query, Apple cannot recommend a specific setting or value.

RFC 2696 describes client extensions for paged results in LDAP; the Active Directory connector in Mac OS X does not support these extensions.
