Hmm, i've never done that, but if you do it i'd recommend using AD with Kerberos. But if you're using AD already, why have a separate LDAP server for your nsswitch data when AD also supports the rfc2307 schema? Maybe better to use OpenLDAP plus MIT or heimdal. If you need a Windows domain controller, maybe take a look at samba 4: https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2014-May/100016.html
