Thank you so much for the response, I tried finding the issue/url you posted but couldn't find it, I also searched on issues.alfresco.com for this issue number and wasn't able to find it, would you mind pointing me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance for your help.

My guess is that your directory doesn't support the paged results control.

Try this

ldap.synchronization.queryBatchSize=0

Thanks a million, the change helped. I so a similar problem/solution on this forum, I just wasn't sure what change will help, I tried commenting out the ldap.synchronization.queryBatchSize, but that didn't help (looks like it has a default value), but setting it to 0 helped. The sun directory doesn't support simple paged results control but has something more advanced called VLV index's, The VLV Control allows a client to request the server in a manageable list of entries.

From sun blogs on VLV index's
The Control provides following options to the client
1. before:after:index:count
before: Specify the number of entries before the target entry
after: Specify the number of entries after the target entry
index: Offset to the target entry. Number 1 means first entry
count: Number of the size of result set for a search filter.

More information is available on sun blogs http://blogs.sun.com/kanthi/entry/ldap_paged_results_more, it looks like alfresco doesn't support the VLV paged results, please let me know if I am wrong.
Thanks again for the help.
