[Freeipa-users] need info on AD / IPA coexistence

[Ondrej Valousek]

Side note:
You can manage AD integrated DNS from unix host easily with just 'nsupdate -g' - so theoretically (ok I undestand you have to have a proper 
Kerberos TGT...) IPA client could be able to autoconfigure (create all the necessary SRV records) AD DNS, too. Not sure if we even wanted 
that. but theoretically, it should be possible.
