I'm really not sure we can get SASL support in openldap client libraries working well for Windows. About the sqlserver support question, I strongly suggest to use the Microsoft SqlSrv driver instead. It is much more stable, works with all active PHP versions and supports all authentification methods you can have with the native sqlserver drivers on windows.
