Relative Distinguished Name maximum length?

[jmedd]

Hi,

I'm creating some new groups in AD 2003 R2, some of which have particularly
long names.

I'm having an issue creating those who have a Relative Distinguished Name
(aka the ldap property 'name') which is greater than 64 characters.

MSDN doesn't seem to suggest that there is a size restriction for this
attribute though? (I'm basing this assumption on the fact that the equivalent
page for samaccount name shows a restriction of less than 20 characters)

Can anyone clarify this?

Hi

see [1] the rdnAttId (the attribute to be used as RDN) of the group class is
Common-Name (cn)
and the range-upper of cn is 64 see [2]
