No, yes, yes and sort of ;-)

No, you do not install NIS

Yes, you replace '${DOMAINDN}' with 'DC=empresa,DC=com,DC=br'

Yes, you replace '${NETBIOSNAME}' with the DCs short hostname in uppercase

You replace '${NISDOMAIN}' (that is a bad name) with the workgroup name 
in lowercase.

ypServ30.ldif is what installing IDMU on a Windows adds to AD and is 
normally only added to Samba if you provision a new domain with 
'--use-rfc2307'
