I spent weeks trying to make this work with handmade Samba/Winbind and LDAP stuff, then eventually we just bought Centrify. If all you want is to join your machine to a domain and use domain credentials to login, it works perfectly. They offer a lot of additional features for applying group policies to your machines, but I can't vouch for any of that.
Centrify isn't free, but the time you'll save is probably well worth it.

Hola. At $WORK we have an Active Directory domain that we would like to use for authentication and authorization for some Linux boxes (primarily CentOS 6.4). We don't need anything fancy as far as pushing out group policy, etc. Just logins and groups. I've done a bit with using LDAP + Kerberos, but am wondering about going further and using winbind to actually join the machines to the domain. Also, there are some commercial products (some have free versions) which play in this space. My experience with winbind from several years ago was that it was flaky and temperamental...possibly changed now? Does anybody have experiences to share here?
