[Samba] I want a Fedora 20 system to be a member server and offer a share in a Windows 2008R2 Active Directory domain

The goal is to make this Fedora 20 system pretend to be a Windows member server in my Windows 2008R2 Active Directory domain and then I'll use it as a backup target.  When I run ADUC from my domain controller, I see my F20 system named nfsa.  But from Windows, when I do Start...\\nfsa, I get an Access Denied error and it prompts for credentials.  When I do Start...\\nfsa\backups, it just fails with an Access Denied error.

I've gotta be missing the piece that sets up my F20 system to trust A/D for authentication for F20 can advertise this share.   The guidance on how to do that is contradictory and thin and I'm hopelessly confused.  I'm supposed to do some editing to some pam .conf files and nsswitch.conf, but everyone has different guidance.  And the edits look elaborate and prone to mistakes.

And a couple of the parameters in the example need equal signs (parameter=value instead of parameter [space] value).  In fairness, that book above is part of RHEL 7 and I'm doing this from Fedora 20 so maybe they are different. Working around that and based on the example, I put this little script together:

Have you tried typing the above in a terminal and running it, if you do, 
it may print an error message.

I don't care about printing here and would be fine with just turning off all printing if there's a way to do it.  But maybe these printer errors contribute to my real problem.
