The only configuration for winbind on the server is:
ln -s /usr/local/samba/lib/libnss_winbind.so.2 /lib/libnss_winbind.so
ln -s /lib/libnss_winbind.so /lib/libnss_winbind.so.2

and editing /etc/nsswitch.conf and adding 'winbind' to the passwd & 
group lines, but you do not have to do this.

Samba 4.0.0 is nothing like any of the previous version, try doing some 
internet reading, but substitute windows AD for samba 4.0.0 in your 
searches, this should help you to understand how Samba 4.0.0 works.
