I’ve just posted an update to my article Querying Active Directory on SQL Server using CLR. I’ve added another 2 parameters to the samples which one of them allows control the Page Size limit for paged AD Search and the second one allows limit the number of rows returned to the client. This can be handful when the AD query can return more results than we need. In such case it’s easy to limit the number of rows.

I’ve updated the article after the comment from Chris, when he received an insufficient memory error when he wanted to return a higher number of fields from AD.

In this case the lowering the page size from 1000 to lower values should avoid this kind of problems.
