Anyone enable LDAPS on a 2008 DC? I have the process to do it but I wanted to be sure that clients won't automatically attempt to use LDAPS and I can't find any information on that. I'm enabling it so an appliance that requires it can use it however I'm doing a self signed cert so I don't want to have to deploy out that trusted root to all clients. Thanks

In case anyone was wondering I did some testing in a lab environment with Windows XP and Windows 7 clients and didn't seen any issue from enabling this with a self signed cert that was not trusted by clients.

I'll ask our AD guy when I'm back in the office on Monday.

Enabling LDAPS has no effect on the clients that use standard LDAP.
