I developed an inventory plugin that queries LDAP (Active Directory) to generate a list of hosts and groups base on OU structure.  
It handles expired AD computer accounts, can ping hosts to see if they are online and various other config options.

Looking for feedback on this. Also , what steps would be needed to add this as a built-in inventory plugin?

I am assuming beyond building a test case, i’d need a docker image to run ldap tests?

Thanks for the help.

Regards,

Josh
