Hi Adam,
I apologize if I missed this in your email but Is there a link for
Windows Administrators as to what versions of AD
(2000,2003,200877,2012) are supported and their caveats?
http://www.freeipa.org/page/Howto/IPAv3_AD_trust_setup#Prerequisites
covers basic requirements. FreeIPA 3.x supports Windows Server 2008 and
above, we are testing regularly with 2008R2 and 2012.
This is due to the fact that the requirement for cross-forest trusts is
functional level 2008 or above. However, it is possible to establish a
trust between a FreeIPA server and Windows Server 2003 R2, with limited
functionality. However, this is unsupported, highly experimental and
of very limited value. Specifically, in this setup AES encryption is not
supported (only RC4 encryption is available).
In order to establish a trust between a FreeIPA server and a Windows
Server 2003 R2, you need to raise the forest functional level to Windows
Server 2003. To do this, open 'Active Directory Domains and Trusts'
snap-in and right-click on 'Active Directory Domains and Trusts' root in
the left pane. Then select 'Raise forest functional level ...' and use
'Windows Server 2003' as the level to raise.
This action needs to be done before establishing a trust with the
'ipa trust-add' command. The rest of the setup is identical to that of
Windows Server 2008 R2.

Subject: [Test-Announce] FreeIPA AD Trust improvement Test Day tomorrow,
2013-07-25
Hello,
The FreeIPA team is happy to welcome you to a Fedora Test Day that is
being held on Thursday, July 25th.
We would like to invite you to take part in testing of the upcoming FreeIPA 3.3
release containing 2 major improvements for easier deployment of FreeIPA Active
Directory Trust feature to existing environments:
1) Use POSIX attributes defined in Active Directory [1]
With previous FreeIPA releases, users coming from Active Directory to FreeIPA
managed machines were always assigned POSIX attributes (UID and GID) by
algorithmic mapping.
However, in some deployments, Active Directory users and groups already have
defined custom POSIX attribute values (UID and GID), which may then be
leveraged on Linux machines via other 3rd party Active Directory integration
solutions. Administrator may choose to keep the values to not disrupt file
ownerships.
With FreeIPA 3.3, FreeIPA Active Directory Trust may be configured to use these
attributes when Active Directory user authenticates to Linux machines.
2) Expose POSIX data on legacy systems without recent SSSD
Administrators may have a deployment of machines which cannot use the recent
SSSD with Active Directory Trust support but would still like to be able to
authenticate with Active Directory user to these machines. This may affect for
example older Linux machines, UNIX machines.
With FreeIPA 3.3, Administrator may configure a compatibility LDAP tree which
will contain identities of the Active Directory users to the legacy systems.
These systems may then leverage standard LDAP authentication in this tree
allowing selected Active Directory users to authenticate.
