Re: Large organisation unit import issue

 

Hello Morten,

Thanks for the advice. For what I know the server looks big enough (4gb
mem). I might try to scale it to 8gb change some vm parameters and see how
it works. But knowing that I have the backup solution to split it in level
is always good.

Regards,
Nicolas
