I think what you're looking for is ADAM:

Although you do not provide much info on the objectives of the tests
needed of this application, it is likely that using ADAM will not be
what you need as its security model is much different from that of
full AD and as the behaviors under load differ. Since you appear to
need to test an AD security application, specifically for preformance
I find it questionable that using ADAM will give you valid, relevant
results/information.
Have you considered using a virtual environment ? baselining it
without and then with this application? tryinig to figure out how to
put the AD under a realistic, known load during the test?

Roger
