What are you using as a file server? Samba FS or something else? And it
is a part of the IPA domain, right?
And XP machine is a part of the AD domain, right?
So the only thing that might work is trusts i.e. establish a trust
relationship between IPA and AD. But there might be dragons and the
whole thing might still not work yet. But we would be interested in
understanding what is not working because we want to support this
scenario down the road.
