Issue/Introduction

Can Symantec DLP integrate with LDAP/Active Directory authentication while the Domain Controller resides on Windows 2008?

Resolution

Symantec DLP can integrate with Active Directory (AD) on Windows 2008 running in compatibility mode.

When the server runs in a compatibility mode it can service requests from standard Windows 2003 environments, including authentication requests.

Running Win2008 in non-compatibility mode has not been tested and verified, and hence, not officially supported.
