Hi,

I find it a bit unexpected that the client system didn't have
nsswitch.conf configured..I've never seen the client installation fail
in this particular way.

For debugging SSSD issues, we've created a new troubleshooting page
upstream that should walk you through the config:
    https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/wiki/Troubleshooting
maybe this article would also help:

But most improtantly, I wouldn't expect to see any issues as long as
you use ipa-client-install. I guess re-enrolling the client would be the
fastest way forward?
