I don't think you can 'sync' info between openldap and AD, you could try 
running openldap as a cache/proxy.

Could you expand on 'we have a very robust OpenLDAP setup that we want 
to use for our default user administration', this is what AD is for, or 
do you mean that you have  various programs that auth to ldap ? if so 
what are they ?
