I am able to manually start ntpd using the command "systemctl start
ntpd.service". I thought I had indicated that in my original post. When
I run the enable command, it does create a sym link. Below is what it
does...
ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/ntpd.service'
'/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ntpd.service'
For some reason or another it is not starting though on boot.
I looked at my log file and it is not showing any failure from what I
can see. I know that systemd is not starting ntpd automatically. I am
using the package that came with the distribution and am getting a bit
frustrated that such a simple thing is not working.

Try starting your ntp manually:

You may see an error message referring you to the journal. Startup
scripts in SystemD are not difficult, but are very different and can
be a bit intimidating until you realize they are no different that
what you always used but in a different order.
If it starts ok but not on boot, your enable command is not working
right. The enable command should create a symlink very similar to the
old rc3.d=> init.d link of old, only the locations are different.
Then on startup, the system should run that script doing an equivalent
of systemctl start on it.
So, try to start it manually and see what happens.

I was able to have the client machine join my Samba 4 windows

I cannot get ntp to start at statup. I am always having to
manually start it. I have run "systemctl enable ntpd.service"
which I understand is the correct command for systemd to have an
application start on boot (it was "chkconfig ntpd on" utilizing
previous versions).
There is the problem of applications... I cannot find a rdp client
on the distro or epel. I found rdesktop on a repository that I
have never used before and don't know if I trust.
I am thinking about trying Linux Mint (http://www.linuxmint.com/)
or kubuntu (http://www.kubuntu.org/). I am trying to see if I can
operate at my office without Windows. I am very comfortable with
CentOS versions prior to 7 am trying to stay with CentOS because
all of my servers are based on one version of CentOS or another. I
did not like CentOS 6 as a desktop and that is why I was trying 7.
Debian based distros have always been intimidating since I am used
to the package management, service calls, and locations of files
in CentOS.
