The operation was aborted because the client side timeout limit was exceeded.   

I'm getting this error when running the following powershell comand:
"get-mailbox -database xxx"

error:
"Active directory response: The operation was aborted because the client 
side timeout limit was exceeded."

Has anyone seen this before?
Some of our database's are large, however, we still get this error with a 
database that has just a few users.

Thanks,

Trejay

Re: The operation was aborted because the client side timeout limit was exceeded.   

On further investigation, if I reboot the domain controller the mailbox is 
querying, then it allows me to continue
issuing commands like 'get-mailbox', but eventually after a few thousand 
results I will get the same error again and I will
have to reboot the domain controller again.

It seems to be a AD thing rather than exchange, however, I still don't have 
long term fix.
