SYMPTOMS
When you try to use the Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI) Edit tool in the Support Tools component on a Microsoft Windows 2000 Server-based computer that is part of a Microsoft Windows Server 2003-based domain, ADSI Edit may stop responding. Also, ADSI Edit may use lots of memory.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the Windows 2000 Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server responds to a range request differently than the Windows Server 2003 LDAP server responds to a range request.
