With a plain Active Directory and users signing from AD to FreeIPA Linux
client, AD user will get automatically assigned UID and GID based on their
Windows identification (SID). This should work fine.

However, I think you cannot set custom home dir centrally, unless you 
configure
"Services for Identity Management for UNIX" AD extension and FreeIPA to 
use it:

Design page of the feature:
http://www.freeipa.org/page/V3/Use_posix_attributes_defined_in_AD
Test day page (a.k.a. tutorials):
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2013-07-25_AD_trusts_with_POSIX_attributes_in_AD_and_support_for_old_clients

... and particularly this part:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_freeipa_using_posix_attributes_in_ad


If you do not want to use the extension, you could for example override 
the
default home dir on FreeIPA clients e.g. with subdomain_homedir option of
sssd.conf (man sssd.conf).

HTH,
Martin
