You have a Simple AD deployment, and you wish to use it for your Microsoft Exchange email server. You are having issues finding the AD server, why might this be?

  • You need to contact AWS to receive a PTR record for your email server.
  • Your firewall is blocking it.
  • Simple AD is not a full Active Directory server and will not work with many MS products. 
  • SSL is not implemented.

Explanation:
Simple AD is Samba based and does not support full Microsoft AD integration.
