This returns no results (if authenticated). So there's no point trying
that. You should rather read namingContexts or defaultNamingContext from
rootDSE (base search) to determine the search root on a particular DC.

Then you tried to connect anonymously which is prohibited in AD's
default configuration.

If you bind everything which is possible in AD should work.

And what did the client return as results?

Maybe ldp.exe is using SASL/GSSAPI bind based on your Windows
workstation logon seamless without you taking notice of it. And maybe
ldp.exe also looks at defaultNamingContext in the rootDSE...

Best thing to find out what a client really does it using Wireshark.
