Description

While debugging an LDAP issue there may be a need to verify that the appliance can contact the LDAP server with specific credentials. In the typical eDiscovery appliance, the windows LDP.exe tool is available but has not been installed.  The following steps can be used to install the windows LDP tool:

1. Open the Server Manager tool in Windows
2. Navigate to Roles configuration setting
3. Select the Add Roles link
4. Work through the Add Roles Wizard
5. Check the Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services. 

Note: This does not require a reboot.  After it installs, LDP.exe is available from the RUN command.

Typically LDP is used to verify the LDAP server and credentials.

For more information on the use of the LDP.exe tool, see:
