What do you mean "integrate" ?

Have you successfully joined to the Active Directory?

If not, have you correctly set /etc/hosts (or other facility) to
resolve your netbios name, sputnik and FQDN during joining to the AD?

And try to remove "auth methods" line, "auth methods" is automatically
set according to "security" and "encrypt passwords" parameter. You
should not change this.

And "guest ok" line is not functioned because of a lack of "map to
guest" parameter.

Basically yes with using Winbind.

There are both "idmap uid" and "idmap gid" line, so minimum
configuration is done.
