If I were to do this, I'd ask your AD admin for an account and some
info from the schema that should always be there and write a plugin
script using the 'ldapsearch' command and checking to make sure you
get back what's expected and exit the script accordingly. Here's a 
sample command line query I used against AD at my last company to 
get people's names, email addresses, phone numbers and job title. 

/bin/ldapsearch -h adhost.foo.bar -D user at ds.dom -w password -b \
ou=BaseOU,dc=ds,dc=dom cn="*${1}*" cn mail telephonenumber title
