Since the most are laptops and tablets I'll power them down when not in use (all of my Linux machines remain powered up all the time) I'll leave them out of the equation for now until I read up on Samba.

TIA

All of my Windows machines are workstations (2 WIN 7 laptops; 1 WIN 7 desktop;

My 'main' machine is CentOS 7 and it runs Oracle 12c database; PostgreSQL 9.6 
database; master DNS; Apache Web Server; 6 KVM virtual machines.

I am much more 'comfortable' on Linux than I am on Windows.
The problem you will run into very quickly is that windows has no integration 
for sharing users/groups with LDAP. Windows will only interact with active 
directory, which is quite a different experience - but your linux clients can 
consume AD as generic LDAP clients.

There are some choices here like Samba AD for certain, but 389 may not do what 
you want in this case I'm sorry :(

So you mention that you have some windows machines here too, is that correct? 
Are the machines workstations or servers? You have some linux machines too?

I'm trying to upgrade my environment and I've reinstalled my CentOS machines to 
CentOS 7 except for one.  I've got my DNS for my LAN working just fine.  So now 
it's time for Directory Server.

What is a GOOD tutorial to follow? My environment includes 26 physical and KVM 
virtual machines; 4 Windows 7 machines and 1 ArcaOS (OS/2) machine. What is a 
DS configuration to go for?
I think the better thing to ask is what do you want to achieve here? What's your ideal 
setup for integrating each of these clients, and what information do you want to make 
available to them? I think that would help me to advise on "what next" for you 
:)
