[Freeipa-users] Free IPA to Microsoft AD 2008R2 trust question

[Hoffmaster, John]

Hi,

The company I work for  uses AD 2008R2 DC to resolve requests for Unix/Linux servers in various environments, under one domain
example.com, with the Realm EXAMPLE.COM ? 

Is it possible to use Freeipa 4.1.0, with an g AD-Trust with only itself as a name server and forwarding all DNS requests to the windows
DC's and still keep everything in the example.com domain without creating a child domain like  ipa.example.com ? 

http://www.freeipa.org/page/Active_Directory_trust_setup

Add for RedHat 7, use hostnamectl set-hostname ipa.example.com 

and
change the install IPA server  command to 

ipa-server-install -a mypassword1 -p mypassword2 --domain=example.com --realm=example.com --setup-dns --forwarder=AD_ipaddress

Thanks,
