Try this, where "xyz" is the domain name of your company on your internal network.
(ie, if your mail server was mail.xyz.com)

dig -t SRV _ldap._tcp.xyz.com

... what should get returned is something like this:

0 100 389 domain-server.xyz.com.

And that - domain-server.xyz.com - is your AD server. That's what you need to use with ldapsearch.
