Provide the ability to join a domain to establish network accounts

At work, I need to be able to join computers to our Active Directory domain so users can login with their network accounts using their domain credentials.

Normally, this is done via a combination of Kerberos, PAM, Winbind, and other tools. The official Ubuntu documentation on how to accomplish is can be found here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto

I have found that this is the best resource for joining a domain a simply as possible: http://www.unixmen.com/how-to-join-an-ubuntu-desktop-into-an-active-directory-domain/

Basically, you point Kerberos to your domain controllers, use realmd to actually join the domain, then set up PAM to handle the authentication / home directory creating components.
