If I could set up Samba4 standalone with full AD support and then be able to set up some sort of trust relationship with a IPA v3 DC so that users and groups could be managed by either... then that would make me happy and fill the Windows requirements.

Also if SSSD could work with a standalone Samba4 domain then that would be great also.

I don't think that it's entirely necessary for IPA to be a AD compatible DC, although that would be ideal (less admin overhead, less stuff to break, etc). Having a requirement that a administrator must setup a standalone Windows or Samba4 DC then that would be fine, just as long as you can treat both in a identical manner.

Trust between Samba 4 AD DC and IPAv3 is not yet possible because Samba 4 AD DC does not support cross-forest trusts yet. Work is ongoing on that one. Once we'll (Samba Team) get cross-forest trusts working in Samba 4 AD DC, this setup will work automatically with IPAv3 cross-forest AD trusts.

SSSD can work with standalone Samba 4 AD DC domain already, either using LDAP or AD provider, it is cross-forest trusts that are not supported in Samba 4 AD DC yet.
