Hi, Where does Windows 2008R2 fit into this setup, is it in the same 
domain? is it the primary AD server?

I would suggest that you read Steve's site a bit more but this time 
about sssd.
I would also suggest that you just use the Samba 4 DCs just for 
authentication and use the Samba fileservers to store the profiles etc. 
You would then not need anything but the basic Samba4 setup on the AD DCs.
