unable to fetch users from Active Directory

Question

Hi All

One of my IAM application fetches users from Active Directory using Object GUID. I have 60000 users in AD.
For example the application fetches users by GUID=6a*, GUID=6b*, but for some GUIDs like 7a* the application is unable to fetch the users. i can see users in AD by 7a*
is there any limitation from AD side for the application to fetch users like for example we cannot export more than 5000 users from AD security group using the syntax Get-ADGroupMember. It looks issue from application side but wanna confirm from AD side as well.

Answer 1

Get-ADGroupMember has a limit of 5000 objects that can be listed

Answer 2

i can see users in AD by 7a*

Based on this it sounds like the application has some issue.
