If you are asking, will AD use the OpenLDAP users and passwords, the answer is no. AD uses kerberos for auth, not LDAP. LDAP is a not an authentication protocol, it just gets hacked into being used for it.

You will need to sync the info from OpenLDAP to AD. You may want to look into making AD your primary store and then using AD/AM for any LDAP app needs that you use OpenLDAP for since you won't have to worry about syncing passwords/IDs then.
