Symptoms
In the Active Directory Users and Computers console in Windows Server 2008 R2, you try to add Active Directory users to the Unix attribute tab of a group. However, the user is not added. Additionally, the application may crash after you click OK or Apply on the Unix attributes tab.
Cause
This problem occurs because of uninitialized memory in the structures that are passed to LDAP operations. When the memberUID attribute exceeds the limit in the Active Directory schema, the uninitialized memory causes the access violation in Microsoft Management Console (MMC).
The attribute size limit for the memberUID attribute in the schema is 256,000 characters. It depends on the individual value length on how many user identifiers (UIDs) will fit into the attribute.
Resolution
To resolve this issue, we have released a hotfix for Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2. Check out the prerequisite before you install this hotfix.
Also notice that you will receive the following error message when you encounter the issue in the "Symptoms" section after you apply this hotfix:
Cannot update the memberUID attribute for the selected NIS domain, because the maximum length available for the attribute memberUID has been exceeded. Either remove users who no longer need to be part of this group, or create another Active Directory group.

Status
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
More Information
After you apply this hotfix package, the fix for the identified issue in the code helps avoid future MMC crashes. When the administrator tries to add Active Directory users to the Unix attribute tab of the group and the limit is exceeded, MMC exits gracefully and displays an error message instead of crashing.
This hotfix package does not increase the limit on the maximum number of users who can be added to the Unix attribute tab of the group. Also, this hotfix package does not take any corrective action on the partial list of users who may have been added to the group when the issue that is described in the "Symptoms" section occurred.
Note If the current number of users in this group is five less than the maximum and you try to add ten more users, only the first five users will be added.
