About this tag
The event id 3041 tag covers a Windows Server Essentials 2016 health report warning from Active Directory Domain Services. The reported issue concerns improving directory-server security by configuring validation of Channel Binding Tokens in LDAP bind requests sent over LDAPS connections. The available discussion notes that the warning can appear even when no clients are currently making LDAP requests over LDAPS, and that the server is used for backing up personal laptops without outside access enabled. This tag is useful for reviewing the warning’s wording, understanding its relationship to LDAP and LDAPS security, and finding practical context around recurring health report notifications in Windows Server environments.
