Although this is probably better suited for the apache/mod_ldap list, I'll
attempt to help.

do your domain controllers support unencrypted binds (very dangerous)?
can you supply any apache/AD debug logs?
can you supply versions of apache/mod_ldap?
can you describe anything that is knows to be working?

...this should be pretty straight forward to troubleshoot if you give us
some useful information to work with.

I speak without a full understanding of the lists user base, but I bet none
of them can or ever will be able to read the minds of the end user with a
problem (let alone know how their systems are configured). If there is such
a wonderful beasty, I'd be mighty interested in meeting them.
