WADS and adding a computer to a group

Hello,

it seems that the "Add computer to groups" feature of djoin has a very annoying bug (to say the least):
When adding a computer to an Active Directory group with 1501 or more members, the target group is completely emptied of its existing members, retaining only the computer added via this feature.

I'm not on the latest version, but I haven't seen a fix in the WAPT changelog.

Can anyone else confirm this problem?

Version used: 2.6.0.17392

Hello,

you've just found the (big) bug (we hadn't seen it before).

It's actually related to how Active Directory works.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previ ... -retrieval

When a group has more than 1500 members, AD doesn't return the `member` attribute but `member` with a range of 0-500.

And in our code logic, that doesn't work. It makes it look like the group is empty.

We'll fix this as soon as possible. In the meantime, it's best not to use it.
