If someone has time and energy please test with AD 2003 R2 ..
I think there are still many environments running AD 2003 because earlier
there was incompatibilities with Linux/ESXi/others with AD 2008
so 2003 was the more safe version for hybrid environments.

Testing with Windows Server 2003 would have to be covered by community
effort. Our QE only tests with WS2008. While I believe WS2003 is still
in use, it's been moved to Extended Support by Microsoft anyway.
That said, we're still interested in bug reports and testing results
from people running the SSSD as an WS 2003 client.
