    Hi Guys,

    I've been writting vb script to bind to windows AD. So far it has been a sucess, i could create user objects, change passwords, etc

    I was using basic bind operation without a port number, where i assume the  default port number is 389.

    Today i decided to change my bind operations to including 389 port number.

    For example:

    Set dso = GetObject("LDAP:")
    Set ou = dso.OpenDSObject("LDAP://ServerIpAddress:389/cn=user1234,ou=test,dc=cerrotorre,dc=de", "administrator", "P@ssw0rd", 1)

    I then decided to change the password

    ou.SetPassword "NewPassword1"

    I keep getting the following error - The remote server machine does not exist or is unavailable

    If i remove port number, it works fine. Can some one please help

    Can you please try with port 636, It is secure LDAP port and make sure that you have issued domain controllers certificate for peer DC.

    I never specify a port number myself. Setting passwords requires SSL. This link documents the ports used by AD. Note that port 636 supports SSL, while 389 does not:

    I guss the syntax itself connecting to the right port as it mentioned LDAP as protocol. LDAP://ServerIpAddress/cn=user1234,ou=test,dc=cerrotorre,dc=de"

    Thanks allot for your responses.

    I still dont have a solution to my issue. Supply port 636 is giving me server not operatonal error.

    Like i said earlier, I WAS able to setpassword without using port 636. I was doing this without supplying any port. This has been working fine in my environment.

    For example

    Set dso = GetObject("LDAP:")
    Set ou = dso.OpenDSObject("LDAP://Ipaddress/ou=Users,ou=my Users,dc=devenv,dc=myLocalEnv", "admin", "P@ssw0rd", 1)

    changing it to this is causing me greive

    OR

    Set ou = dso.OpenDSObject("LDAP://Ipaddress:636/ou=Users,ou=my Users,dc=devenv,dc=myLocalEnv", "admin", "P@ssw0rd", 1)
