Wish to cross check all logins (sql/NT) across sql estate against current logins list inside Active Directory with "Enabled" with the view to purge orphan logins.

I'm using the below syntax the LinkedServer + query but getting the error below. Any ideas where my syntax is incorrect?

EXEC sp_addlinkedserver 'ADSI', 'Active Directory Services 2.5', 'ADSDSOObject', 'myDCServer'

SELECT sAMAccountName
FROM OPENQUERY(ADSI, 'SELECT sAMAccountName, userAccountControl
FROM ''LDAP://DC=myDCServer,DC=com,DC=uk''
WHERE objectCategory = ''Person''
AND objectClass = ''user''')
WHERE userAccountControl & 2 <> 0; -- disabled

Error:

Msg 7321, Level 16, State 2, Line 2
An error occurred while preparing the query "SELECT sAMAccountName, userAccountControl
FROM 'LDAP://DC=GBLTCPRDADC01,DC=com,DC=uk'
WHERE objectCategory = 'Person'
AND objectClass = 'user'" for execution against OLE DB provider "ADSDSOObject" for linked server "ADSI".
