Hi,

I am trying to delete an OU with a vbscript, but that does not work very well. I am using this command:

Set objOU = GetObject("LDAP://" & strOU & strDNSDomain)
objOU.DeleteObject(0)

The OU contains approx 42000 contacts, and my guess is that I have reached a limit somewhere, either in active directory or in the vbscript engine.

I have tried to delete every object inside the ou to pass the problem but that takes forever.

Anyone?

What is the error that you receive?

Well, first of all it seems that the server gets very busy, and performance degrades. There is no error messages during script running, but if I do the same in aduc, just deleting the entire OU, a very long time passes, and then there is an error message. Cant remember what it was now, but will check it up as soon as I get home from work. Something about connect to tree item, but I will check that up tonight.

But no matter what the error message is, it clearly is a limitation here. I am pretty sure that the limitation is general type, and it could be something with either Active Directory or the scripting engine.
