On Windows, creating a network share is a straightforward process.
1. Create the share. Give it a name.

This is not necessary.

You can set permissions for the AD users or groups, as you do with
Windows.
Creating/deleting OpenSolaris users to keep in sync with AD users seems very
painful. Is there a way to bypass step 1 and just set the permissions using AD
user/group identity?
There's no requirement to create local OpenSolaris users.
Also, I would appreciate any links to "CIFS Administration for Dummies."
Once you've created your zfs datasets, you can use Windows desktop
tools to manage shares and permissions.
These may help:

This entry may help with creating and sharing zfs datasets for use
with Windows (even if you don't care about offline files).
