Basically yes, you can also give Domain Admins a gidNumber and then
make any users you want to be admins, members of this group.

Just followed it myself and it does work against a Samba fileserver.

Where do you expect the home directory to be created ?
Is it on a Samba machine and if so what have you got in smb.conf ?

Are you running the dhcp server on the DC along with Bind9 ?
If so, please post your dhcpd.conf
