Active Directory Replication
Active Directory replication failed because the object was too large
The maximum size of an object has been exceeded.
Active Directory replication could not copy an object because the object or attribute set exceeded the size limits replication can handle.
Observed message
The maximum size of an object has been exceeded.
Why it happens
- An object contains too much replicated data for the operation to complete successfully.
- One or more attributes grew unexpectedly because of application or directory data changes.
- Replication is trying to process malformed or unusually large directory content.
How to fix it
- Identify the oversized object or attribute involved in the failed replication attempt.
- Reduce or clean up oversized attribute values where that is safe and supported.
- Review any application or sync process that is writing unusually large values into Active Directory.
