Windows Server 2019 AD LDS Support

Copper Contributor

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 (current AD LDS documentation), 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-ae777b1...

 

 

Best regards,

@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!
