(Sorry, quick answer for now just to set on the right route.)

This is a built-in limitation. I can't get a web connection at the 
moment but if you search MSDN for "attribute range retrieval" you should 
find a description. In principle you could use GetInfoEx but at present 
it's not implemented in the pywin32 ADSI code. Instead you might craft 
your LDAP query with a range qualifier to see if that worked.
