1'It throws error' is not a problem description. – user207421 Jul 26 '18 at 05:01

Without seeing examples of entries one cannot give more help. Furthermore you should mention what you want to achieve. – Michael Ströder Jul 31 '18 at 15:01

The LDAP schema of MS Active Directory is very specific and completely different to that installed in OpenLDAP default installations. It's nearly impossible to get AD exports directly imported into OpenLDAP without heavy sanitizing and/or schema tweaking.
Just some examples:
- The users in AD have object class
Userwhich does not exist in OpenLDAP - The groups in AD have object class
Groupwhich does not exist in OpenLDAP
If you want to mimic behaviour of MS AD your best option would be to try Samba4 by following this docs:
