There are no workarounds, and we have consistent success with ADACM. :)

Invite users by their e-mail address. Make sure your SMTP server knows that
your WSS server is allowed to relay to outside domains. Don't invite people
by DOMAIN\username, just give in and realize you'll always have to invite by
e-mail address.

Then it gets much easier. :)
