Our CentOS 5.7 builds at work work just fine against our Windows 2008
DCs.  What exactly are you trying to achieve?  I take it you want user
info from AD via nss_ldap?  How do you want to do authentication?
pam_krb5 or pam_ldap?

You do not need to join a host to AD in order to do that.  Our older
build did not join hosts to AD.  Our new one does and it works fine for
us.  Using '-d' with the `net` command will display debug info about the
join attempt.
