Hello Pandu, I have done a implementation using a daemon named sssd. It's sponsored by the Fedora Project if I remember correctly.
It supports 2008r2 AD without much hassle. I've setup everything relying on LDAP for information and Kerberos for authentication. So you don't need things like nss-ldap, nslcd, nscd and other old services. You can handle almost everything with SSSD. And even better: SSSD supports offline server authentication in the case of your AD is down or not reachable at the moment. I can send you some links in the night (Brazilian night) when I will be at home.
