Have you compiled samba-4.1.4 on the client as well as on the server?

If not then you need to install samba via apt-get

Use net ads join

If you compile samba yourself then it will actually be 
/usr/local/samba/etc/smb.conf and you will have to create it yourself, 
but if you install samba via apt-get, you will get a sample 
/etc/samba/smb.conf that you can alter.

It does not matter whether you create a samba share on the server, 
fileserver or client, it is just done in the same way, add the share to 
smb.conf, then create the directory as per the instructions on the howto.
