Maximum number of find results exceeded

What causes this issue?

The directory cannot fully execute a search query since the number of
entries to be returned exceeds the upper limit set in the directory.
This situation primarily occurs, if the user master synchronization
(report RSLDAPSYNC_USER) is to be used, and the Microsoft Active
Directory is used. This has an upper limit of 1000 entries.

System Response
