Hi,<br />
<br />
Here's what I would do :<br />
<br />
1. Close external access to port 389 <br />
2. Choose an alternate port for external requests<br />
3. Set up a rule on the firewall, redirecting any LDAP request performed on this alternate port to the proper server, on port 389.<br />
<br />
Of course, this procedure heavily depends on your Firewall's possibilities.<br />
<br />
HTH<br />
Cheers

I would like to know if I can use alternate ports for active directory access? and if so, how.<br />
I know the default is 389 for LDAP, I would like to know if I can continue to use 389 for internal PC's and servers, but use a seperate port that I choose for external access.<br />
<br />
as always, Thanks for the help!<br />

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.
