Windows Server 2008 R2 sp1
well there's no specific "LDAP" forum like "WSUS" so i hope this is the right one.
on applications using LDAP to authenticate users, sometimes i find that the application itself is not syncing or talking with Active Directory. there are instances where settings that work previously would just stop and only a reboot can "fix" it.
settings like display name of an email address (in Exchange the display name is correct), or like one specific example, i renamed a PDC from PDC1 to PDC2 but the LDAP based application still keeps looking for PDC1. to fix the problem, i have to create a second DNS entry for the ip address of PDC2 and name it PDC1. then the application worked! developers said they didn't hardcode the PDC1 name in their application.
should i be worrying about my AD LDAP or is this an inherent problem with LDAP based applications?
