The version shouldn't pose a problem.
But the error you're posting is not from this component, it belongs to the "Authentication" extension packed with the Platform. This extension uses the configuration setting under "Users" (<server>/Users/ConfigureAuthentication.aspx) which should be set to "Active Directory" and the domain server needs to be provided.
If you do not require AD authentication then you can leave as it is and use the "AD_UserGetGroups" from the Active Directory extension.
If you have the configuration setting from Users properly set, that means you're able to login with an AD user and use the "Get_AccountDetails" action from the "Authentication" extension without issues and you should also be able to get info from the one you mention.
