Windows Server 2019 AD LDS Support

Hello,

 

With the release of Server 2019 I haven't seen any documentation on whether AD LDS is supported in this release. Does anyone know if Server 2019 supports AD LDS?

 

Thanks!

    Hello AMarvosh,

     

    Yes, Windows Server 2019 does support Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS).


    The documentation has not been updated for a good while (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2012-R2-and-2012/hh831593(v=ws.11)), but you could give feedback to Microsoft and request hem to update it over here: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/feedback/issues

     

    The only documentation I found regarding "AD LDS for Windows Server 2019"  is about LDAP configuration settings over here:
    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-adts/41cbdb2c-eab1-45b0-8236-ae777b1c5406

     

     

    Best regards,
    Leon

      Leon LaudeHere at our company we have a AD DS (Domain Service) our developers has a application NodeJS and they want to create a new user at this AD DS using a NodeJS is this supported by a Active Directory Domain Service. I know that is possible only at AD LDS and not at AD DS.

       

      Is there a published KB to says then that is not possible to create a user by a external application Node in a Domain Services? 

       

      Can you confirm this to  help me show it for my developer that AD DS cannot accepts management form a NodeJs API, but only POWER SHEEL or MSDN API.

       

      Pleaseeee!
