Unless the LDAP server admin will setup a scheduled dump for you, I don't see any way other than running dozens of looped queries to get all the entries. The good thing is that once the queries are scripted, you don't have to worry about them anymore. The disadvantage is that running dozens of queries in quick succession may put a pretty good load on the server. <rant> It shouldn't be that hard to setup a scripted dump on the server. This is the kind of thing that gives Windows sysadmins a bad name. </rant> If the problem is that the LDAP server admin does not know how to script the dump and cannot/will not make time to figure it out, you might consider researching how to export the GAL and handing the complete scripted solution to the server admin.
