I installed AD LDS on Windows 7, created an instance and created a user with ADSI Edit as described here, but when I try to access it with Get-ADUser -Server Win7Box -Filter * I get this error:

Unable to contact the server. This may be because this server does not exist, it is currently down, or it does not have the Active Directory Web Services running.

I tried from the Windows 7 box and from a Windows 2008 R2 box and got the same error in both cases.

Is the Windows 7 AD LDS fully featured? do you have any clue?

  • Does the Windows Firewall allow access to port 389? Does something listen on port 389? – Ansgar Wiechers Mar 02 '16 at 22:11
  • yes, `netstat -a` shows that something listen on port 389 and no, Windows FW does not block port 389 (I can query AD LDS local instance with `ldp`) – Peyre Mar 03 '16 at 10:42
