I hope it’s useful to anyone reading this, you can find more information and a free download (this is not a trial or limited version, it is just a completely free app) here: http://www.cjwdev.co.uk/Software/ADTidy/Info.html

Additionally all of the clients share our corporate image which doesn’t include any third party firewall (only antivirus). So I’m pretty confident that if the computer is “active” that it is talking with our active directory.
