Windows 7 may not be able to join to a true NT4 domain.  However you can 
(at least you good) set up a Samba  BDC in an NT4 domain and net vampire 
the accounts from the NT4 DC.     Windows 7 can join an "classic" 
domain.     Windows 10 can join a classic domain (with signandseal 
registry change) BUT you have to disable SMB3 on Samba.
