LDAP setup Windows 2008 Server R2
We have a HP M9050 that eveyone could e-mail scanned documents, then we lost the Windows 2003 print server that controlled LDAP.
We added a Windows 2008 R2 server to handle print management, but now I need to fix LDAP and have no idea how to do this. I can get into the printers configuration and see where it was looking for LDAP settings and that server doesn't exist.
Is there an easy way to setup LDAP?
I've read this but doesn't help me much.

Assuming you have made the 2008 R2 a domain controller, specify its IP address on the HP. Use port 389. And you likely need to provide some domain credentials so AD can be read.

It is currently just a stand alone server, other than changing to a domain controller, you don't have to configure anything at the server, just a DC?

Yes our primary DC. It's running Windows 2003 server, it's the one everyone authenticates too.

For test, I entered the IP of the PDC and tried to apply and this was the error. It is still looking at the old LDAP(print server) for Digital Sending Software.

I am not familiar with that software. But it claims it is installed at that IP and you must configure these changes through that software. Is that the IP of the server that died?
ASKER
Yes
I think you have a step before reconfiguring LDAP. Is the old IP or server name referenced on any other pages (not ones referring to LDAP).

I'm not understanding the question "Is the old IP or server name referenced on any other pages (not ones referring to LDAP)?"
I am just wondering if the server is referenced elsewhere on the HP printer settings.
I can get into the printers configuration and see where it was looking for LDAP settings and that server doesn't exist.
Was the old server a DC? If yes then all you should need to do is replace the name of the server that does not exist with the new DC name.
If it was not a DC, then there may have been some other software installed that controlled LDAP integration.

Yes it was a DC and I also found out it had an HP application DSS(Digital Sending Software) which looks like they purchased a key.
Now I have to figure this portion out.

"If it was a DC then you only need to update the server name to point to an existing server." From diggisaur: has pointed out it needs to be a DC, so we can use our Primary DC, yes?
Correct, you can use ANY DC on your domain.
P.S. There is no such thing as a primary and secondary DC in Active Directory anymore.
They are differentiated by the FSMO roles that they hold.
PDC Emulator is a role that was traditionally associated with the Primary Domain Controller.

Just gave my age away!
I'll see what info I can gather about this key and software, then close this, as I'm not sure if I'll have another post/question.

Sounds like you are making progress. That's a little disappointing that you can only configure this printer through that software and not through the web-based GUI.

diggisaur: I can log into the web interface. This is where I found the config. and where the printer was pointing too.

Sorry, I was away for a while and now getting caught up. Never did get this resolved, just did away with LDAP.
