Well, if you want to integrate Windows machines, you'd better to stick with Samba (you can try Samba 4 if you prefer the IPA-like integration). IPA itself "looks and feels" like AD but it is not compatible with AD - it is intended mainly for Linux machines.

Hi Ondrej, The win7 is standing alone. I don't have an AD for it. I used to have a samba domain controller that took care of user authentication for both linux and winxp machines.

How do I set up a samba server on the file server so that the files can be accessed by a win7 machine, which is not a member of the ipa realm? Should I set the file server as a domain controller? How do I deal with the "passdb backend" option? I guess I can set it to "ldapsam", but the user information is kept on the ipa server, not the file server. What else should I take care of before I start? ps. my ipa version is 2.2, running on fc17.
