[CentOS] NIS or not?

No, the other way around.  Microsoft Active Directory implements an
LDAP like directory accessible interface for its own directory.

Calling Active Directory "LDAP" is like calling vim `echo "xx" > yy`. If you
are unaware of all the moving parts under Active Directory, it might prove
very informative to explore it.
