ERROR_DS_OBJECT_RESULTS_TOO_LARGE

ERROR_DS_OBJECT_RESULTS_TOO_LARGE (0x00002038) is an Active Directory Domain Services LDAP result. The result data returned for the LDAP operation is too large to be handled as a single response.

What to check

Reduce the search scope and attributes returned by the query.
Use paged search and process results incrementally rather than collecting everything at once.
Check whether one object has unusually large multivalued attributes that should be retrieved separately.

Useful command

Get-ADObject -LDAPFilter "(objectClass=*)" -SearchBase "OU=<OU>,DC=<domain>,DC=<tld>"
