Description:
Failed to connect to the Edge Transport server ADAM instance with exception The LDAP server is unavailable..  This could be caused by a failure to resolve the Edge Transport server name <> in DNS, a failure trying to connect to port 50636 on <>, network connectivity issues, an invalid certificate, or an expired subscription.  Verify your network and server configuration.

Solution:
Make sure TLS 1.0 is not disabled through registry on the EDGE servers, if it is then remove the TLS 1.0 registry to enable it and reboot the edge server.

Note: This is one of the cause other than blocked ports, duplicate Certificates ,DNS etc.
