The following are the required ports for AD the articles supporting are

Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000 Server
For a mixed-mode domain that uses either Windows NT domain controllers or
legacy clients, trust relationships between Windows Server 2003-based domain
controllers and Windows 2000 Server-based domain controllers may necessitate
that all the ports for Windows NT that are listed in the previous table be
opened in addition to the following ports.
Note The two domain controllers are both in the same forest, or the two
domain controllers are both in a separate forest. Also, the trusts in the
forest are Windows 2003 trusts or later version trusts. Client Port(s)Server
