Maybe something like

action_groups:
  microsoft:
  - computer
  - debug_ldap_client
  - domain
  - domain_controller
  - membership
  - object
  - object_info
  - offline_join
  - ou
  - user

This sounds like a good idea, I'll add it to the list of things to do before the next release.

Thanks for the feature suggestion, #96 adds the module group microsoft.ad.domain and I've added all the modules that user the domain_{username,password,server} options.
