Maximum users in Distribution Group?! 1

[TheMisio]

Dear Colleagues,

I’m trying to understand one thing here: what is the maximum number of users in a distribution group (or any other group in fact)?
I know that in MS Windows 2000 AD max number was 5000. However, all articles I’ve read so far indicate that in Windows 2003 AD / Exchange this limitation is no more.

My problem is that I am unable to send email to distribution group with more than 5000 users in Windows 2003 / Exchange native mode.
No limits on maximum number of recipients etc. As soon as I get below 5000 (e.g. 4999) it works!

Any ideas?

Regards,

Michael

you can modify your recipient limits in Exchange. The default is 5000.

TechyMcSe2k,

Damn! I've missed this one. You're right. I had a limit set in Global Settings.

Cheers for prompt response.

Michael
