  • at ntdsutil.exe command prompt, type ldap policies, , press enter.
  • at ldap policy command prompt, type connections, , press enter.
  • at server connection command prompt, type connect server dns name of server, , press enter. want connect server working with.
  • at server connection command prompt, type q, , press enter return previous menu.
  • at ldap policy command prompt, type show values, , press enter.
