Syntax:
oLschema2ldif --basedn=DN --input=inputfile --output=outputfile

Where:
  'DN' is the AD domain DN e.g. DC=samdom,DC=example,DC=com
  'inputfile' is an Openldap schema (not an ldif)
  'outputfile' is what you want the resultant ldif to be called.

You can use a path for the two files, they do not have to be in the 
directory from where you run the command.

We do have a wikipage for how you add the ldif to Samba AD:
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_AD_schema_extensions

Please be aware that extending the AD schema is one way, once in, you 
can never remove the schema extension.

Just has a final thought, what do want to add to AD ?
