Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS - domain controller configuration (SAMBA)

Hello!
Never configured a Linux server from a scratch.
Reviewed the official documentation and dozens of different "how to", but now one of them helped me to solve the issue.

The need:

Quote:

1. Ubuntu Server (already installed)
2. Connect to it 1 Linux Mint computer (already installed) + 1 computer with Windows 7 (already installed).

Need to create 3 groups with permissions:
1. AdminUsers(with full admin access).
2. SimpleUsers (with limited access and interdiction of applicatoin install on Linux Mint and Windows 7
3. AdvancedUsers (with moderated access: permissions to install apps)

Need to create users inside each of those groups (User: Adm1 inside AdminUsers group, user: Simple1 inside SimpleUseres group, user:Advus inside AdvancedUsers group).
Need to connect with specific user from Linux Mint and Windows 7.
Need to have redirected Desktop to specific folder on the Server (for SimpleUsers - they share same Desktop, for AdminUsers and AdvancedUsers - they have their own Desktop, but still under folders inside Server and not on their local machines.

My final goal is to install a small network (later with around 10 stations) where I can controle the stations OS from the Server (example: limiting different apps installation on Win7-8, Linux Mint 17, MacOS with the users restrictions)
And also add a personalized and group file sharing.

Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS.
Installed Samba by following this video: _youtube.com/watch?v=Rf7Hk8qWt1Q
_ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2146198

But receiving errors:

Receiving error in the authentication step verification:
# smbclient //localhost/netlogon -U 'administrator'
Enter administrator's password:
Domain=[USERVER] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 4.1.6-Ubuntu]
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME

==

And next also receiving error:
kinit administrator@MYDOMAIN.LOCAL
kinit: Cannot contact any KDC for realm 'MYDOMAIN.LOCAL' while getting initial credentials
--

On the side of Win7 I applied two registrie fixes (found this on the web).
But cannot connect the station to the domain.
Cannot even ping the domain: not the host and not the full domain host.mydomain.local
But, when placing the DNS in Win7 with IP of my server can ping the host, but still not the domain: not host.mydomain.local and not mydomain.local, only host unswering pings.

Dont really understand if this is an authomated task: thus mean, that by adding from the side of win7 station to the domain it will create the station name authomaticaly on the side of Ubuntu Server. Or, I need first write this station name somwhere on the side of Ubuntu Server, give the permissions to this specific station and only than add it from the side of Win7.
But all this should be the next steps, presently, as I understand the problem is in correct Samba configuration

Can someone suggest the correction?

Thank you in advance!

calendarserver_monitor_notifications

CALENDARSERVER_MONITOR_NOTIFICATIONS(8) 		    BSD System Manager's Manual 		   CALENDARSERVER_MONITOR_NOTIFICATIONS(8)

NAME

     calendarserver_monitor_notifications -- Darwin Calendar Server push notification monitor

SYNOPSIS

     calendarserver_monitor_notifications [--admin username] [--config file] [--host hostname] [--node pubsub-node-name] [--port port-number]
					  [--ssl] [--verbose] [--help] username

DESCRIPTION

     calendarserver_monitor_notifications is a tool for making sure XMPP push notifications are working properly.  Given a username and password
     it will connect to the calendar server and determine which pubsub node(s) correspond to that user's calendar home, as well as those of any
     user which has delegated calendar access.	Next it will subscribe to those nodes and await notifications, printing them to stdout.  An admin-
     istrator can monitor the push notifications for another user by passing the --admin option.  Exit by hitting Control-C.

OPTIONS

     -a, --admin
	   Authenticate using the credentials of the given administrator.

     -h, --help
	   Display usage information.

     -f, --config FILE
	   Use the Calendar Server configuration specified in the given file.  Defaults to /etc/caldavd/caldavd.plist.

     -H, --host HOSTNAME
	   Connect to the specified calendar server.  If not passed on the command line, the host name is looked up in the configuration file.

     -n, --node NODENAME
	   Bypass the auto-discovery of pubsub nodes and specify one explicitly.  Useful on calendar servers which don't support the push-trans-
	   ports DAV property.	When using this option, the host and port options instead refer to the XMPP server host and port numbers.

     -p, --port NUMBER
	   Connect to the specified port number.  If not passed on the command line, the port number is looked up in the configuration file.

     -s, --ssl
	   Use https to connect to calendar server (default is http).

     -v, --verbose
	   Print debugging information.

FILES

     /etc/caldavd/caldavd.plist
	   The Calendar Server configuration file.
