How can I find the LDAP server in the DNS on Windows?

For Linux, this command should return the DNS record for the LDAP server

host -t srv _ldap._tcp.DOMAINNAME

(found at Authenticating from Java (Linux) to Active Directory using LDAP WITHOUT servername)

How could I get the same on the Windows command line using nslookup?

I tried

nslookup -type srv _ldap._tcp.DOMAINNAME

(following http://support.microsoft.com/kb/200525), would this be correct?

  • You need to use an = after -type:

    nslookup -type=srv _ldap._tcp.DOMAINNAME
