If likewise is to be removed, than what is the alternative (or 
recommended way) to joining an Active Directory domain? Likewise open 
has been a major time saver for setting Samba shares with AC domain 
authentication and I would very much hate going back to the manual 
winbind configuration of the past.

It's literally this easy:

domainjoin-cli join domainname.local administrator
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/likewise-open/idmap/lwopen.so /usr/lib/samba/idmap/
mv /var/lib/samba/secrets.tdb /var/lib/samba/secrets.tdb.orig
ln –s /etc/samba/secrets.tdb /var/lib/samba/secrets.tdb
Modify smb.conf to use the "security = DOMAIN" settings and define your 
shares.
Restart the server and your done.
