That should work.  But note that posix attributes will not sync to AD.  And
even if you did manage to find a posix schema that worked with AD, and added
the posix schema on the AD side, those attributes would not be synced to
Fedora DS.

Thanks for your answer.

I start to wonder if Windows sync is worth the trouble. At my site we
will probably not implement password sync as the AD-side is very
restrictive about installing anything.
I hear this all the time - AD admins are very touchy about installing anything, especially some piece of random open source software that's going to intercept clear text passwords and send them who-knows-where
So what I get is basically a
skeleton that I have to populate with the posixUser attributes.

Another issue is groups in AD. I suppose those groups will become
regular unix-groups on the directory server side,
Yes. But note - not posix groups (posixGroup) but plain groups (groupOfUniqueNames)
which might not
be enough for all policing needs (may need netgroups in addition).
Sure.
We will probably have maximum a few hundred users in the directory, do
you think Windows-sync is worth the bother?
I suggest you take a look at Penrose http://docs.safehaus.org/display/PENROSE/Home
