Active Directory plugin only returning 999 results

I feel like I am probably missing a simple vCO configuration item somewhere.  When I try to use the Active Directory plugin I am only getting a partial inventory if the OU I am trying to select an object from has more than 999 objects.  I am trying to run the workflow to add a computer to a user group but I cannot select the user group as we have several thousand.  I think I can accomplish what I need programatically but if I want to allow for selections from a pull down this would fail.  Is there somewhere I can bump the number of results up?

This limit comes from AD. This is the default MaxPageSize limit.

You can change it by following this article:

Another option is to change how do you search for input parameters.

You can try the following:

1. Duplicate your workflow.

2. Open it for edit

3. Change the way how to search for every input from presentation tab:

     a. Select the input

     b. Switch to 'Properties' tab

     c. Change property Select value as to 'list'

4. Save the workflow

This way you will limit the search by teh name you type in search field

Hope this helps

Ivan

I actually did try using the list view yesterday and no results were being returned.  I tried again this morning and it seems to be working.  Argh.
