How to query LDAP via port 636 from powershell?

Question

I use adsi to connect to AD and measure the latency of the connection. For same query when i replace server with server:636 , it fails. What is the easiest way to do a ldap "find" through 636 port?

Solution

I had the same question as you did. Here is a link that I found. It worked perfectly. I tested it against several of our Domain Controllers, and also against a vanity name i.e. ldaps.domain.com. It worked as expected.
