LDAP query

[xseries1]

Can anyone tell me how to write a LDAP query to query from a specific OU in my tree
Here is the query I want to execute, but it gives me all the objects from the tree, i want to run it from a specific OU ?

(&(&(|(&(objectCategory=person)(objectSid=*)(!samAccountType:1.2.840.113556.1.4.804:=3))(&(objectCategory=person)(!objectSid=*))(&(objectCategory=group)(groupType:1.2.840.113556.1.4.804:=14)))(& (mailnickname=*) (| (&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(!(homeMDB=*))(!(msExchHomeServerName=*)))(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(|(homeMDB=*)(msExchHomeServerName=*)))(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=contact))(objectCategory=group) ))))

You specify the base to search from like this.
[tt] sbase="<LDAP://OU=Organic Units,DC=cern,DC=ch>"[/tt]
The complete query string consists of four parts. That is the first part where you specify from where you want to run.

Thank you for your answer,
But i don't know how to do in my exchange 2003 environnement.
to query user mailbox ,group and contact,the wizard give me this script

(&(&(& (mailnickname=*) (| (&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(|(homeMDB=*)(msExchHomeServerName=*)))(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=contact))(objectCategory=group) ))))

I dont know where to put your script to start from the specific OU (sbase="<LDAP://OU=Organic Units,DC=cern,DC=ch>")

Can anyone help out here ????

I am writing a C program using LDAP API within.

I have an LDAP tree of about 5 million records. As the result, my ldap_search_s always return an error and never could complete.

filter = "(&(cn=*)(objectclass=Customers))";
lderr = ldap_search_s( ld, search_dn, LDAP_SCOPE_ONELEVEL, filter, NULL, 0, &result );

The error message is: LDAP OUT OF MEMORY.

How do you go around this ? Do I have to break it up into smaller pieces and search 4,5 different times and live with it ?

Thank you
