We don't need those, either.
You get a message when you join the list. That message tells you what we *do* need, and what you *should not* post. Please read it.

What do you mean "linked to AD"? That the FreeRADIUS machine has joined the AD domain?
That's nice, but FreeRADIUS doesn't know that. There's no magic in the server (or OS) saying "look users up in AD"
The issuer here is that you haven't configured FreeRADIUS to do anything with AD. i.e. it doesn't use LDAP or ntlm_auth to authenticate the users. That's why it's rejecting the users.
Please read my documentation on AD integration: http://deployingradius.com/documents/configuration/active_directory.html
If you look through the config files for "Active Directory", you will see a number of comments with what to do, and what to configure. Those should help, too.
