Ok so I looked through that info, and I have seen it before
however I'm confused because the link I posted appears
to do the same thing just a different way.  When do you
use nss_ad and when do you not?

nss_ad can be used to resolve user and group names using AD,
in the same way that would use NIS or local files.   If you add
'ad' to nsswitch.conf, and you have created files from Windows
clients, you will see the user and group names as they appear in
AD rather than the names from NIS or ephemeral IDs.

nss_ad has nothing to do with joining a domain.
