Winsyc plugin used in IPA comes originally from DS. In the context of
IPA it can be only one way so changing this configuration is not
something we expect or would work in IPA. In the DS context you can have
two way sync of users and groups.

AFAIK (Rich please correct me) we do not replicate the enabled/disabled
status from IPA to AD.
Conceptually we think of the AD as authoritative source for the
information. Allowing user to be disabled by IPA admin and then
replicate this status back violates this model and would sound really
dangerous for AD side. Are you sure that even if that would have been
allowed your AD admins would actually permit you to do that?

Anyways so far it is one of the limitations of the current product. You
can definitely explain the use case in a bit more details and file an
RFE. If the use case is compelling we will consider it for the later
release.
