No, as standard, without the correct packages installed or links
created, this is correct, the Unix OS doesn't known the AD users.
Also, you shouldn't use 'Administrator' on a Unix machine, you should
use 'root'.
Can I suggest you get another DC and upgrade Samba whilst doing so,
4.4.x is EOL as far as Samba is concerned.
You can get Centos 4.8.6 packages here:

You could try running something like this on your DC:
authconfig --enablekrb5 --enablewinbindauth
--enablewinbindkrb5 --disablesssd --disablesssdauth --enableforcelegacy
--enablemkhomedir --update
and restart Samba
