It doesn't work like that; you need to tell the machine about the domain/realm and *then* it knows how to validate your credentials. That said, I last used gnome-settings to add an ad account, and it joined the domain along the way, and set up much of the stuff you'd be looking for. It was surprisingly, shockingly easy and painless.
But! You aren't going to get things like group policy on a Fedora box. Windows admins want to admin Windows; there will always be features 'missing' because they will always want it to be Windows...
