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
