ASP.NET MVC 3 - How to handle errors in Global.asax?

What is best practice for handling errors that occur in Global.asax (for example in SessionStart)?

In my case I need to handle exceptions that are thrown from a helper class that handles queries against Active Directory.

How do I proceed when I catch an error to inform the user of, for instance, that the AD server cannot be reached?

If you have a SessionStart method and you're doing work in it, put a try catch in there. If you're talking about errors from your other controllers and other actions, the best way in my opinion is to create a BaseController and override the OnException method. Do all your error handling in there (redirect to an error view, log, etc.). Now, when you make a controller, just inherit from BaseController. See more here:
