I'm afraid you'll have to try and see whether it works. My AD knowledge
is rudimentary, but I've seen several LDAP tools successfully used in AD
environments to query the network for membership. Since AD is
Microsoft-specific extensions to LDAP (and other open protocols), you
may need to jump through extra hoops, such as escaping forward slashes
in DNs: <https://ldapwiki.com/wiki/ADSI>.

I've Cc'd the current maintainer of the egg. In case it's dormant,
porting and taking over its maintenance shouldn't be too hard due to the
low complexity of the code.
