I need to connect to port 636 of a server and I'm using the "-Server" option. The official doc says that you can put "Fully qualified directory server name and port", but it doesn't work for me, i tried to put "server:port" and "server port" and doesn't work. Which is the corret syntax? Thank you very much.

    What happens when you use `server:port`? – Mathias R. Jessen Feb 09 '22 at 11:06

    Port 636 is used with LDAP SSL. Powershell's AD cmdlets use ADWS and the port being used is 9389. See [the docs](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/networking/service-overview-and-network-port-requirements). If you must use port 636, you will have to use ADSI – Theo Feb 09 '22 at 11:16
  • When I use `server:port` I see this: "_Impossible to contact the server. Maybe the server doesn't exists, is inactive or the Web Active Directory services aren't up in the server._" – FID-FB Feb 09 '22 at 14:02

Thank you Theo and FID-FB. Posting your discussions as answer to help other community members.

Port 636 is an TCP port for LDAP SSL. To use the port 636, you need to enable the ADSI on the sever.
