Abstract
Disclosed herein is a Directory Extension Service (DES) system and method for generating a count of a number of entries in a node or a number of entries in a node and any nested nodes in one or more directory databases. The Directory Extension Service may parse a count requests to generate one or more sets of commands to be sent to the one or more directory databases. The generated sets of commands may be particularly tailored according to proprietary operational attributes or controls supported by each vendor that implements a directory database. The count values retrieved from each of the directory databases may then be combined by the Directory Extension Service system and the resultant count value may be transparently presented to the application that has requested the count.
