Managed to get WordPress-MU installed. Had to use version 1.3.3 for the LDAP integration to work. Works with Active Directory pretty easily (well for someone who’s had a stab at LDAP a few times and can remember what needs to be in each field!)

Thanks to Tom in the System team here at the University for pointing me in the right direction

WPMU-LDAP Plugin

Whilst we are on about LDAP and Active Directory. I was wondering how I could cheaply/freely make our systems more resilient in the event of a Domain Controller falling over. I settled for using domaindnszone.myaddomain.local as the hostname as it has the IP’s of both of my DC’s. Obviously you will need to replace “myadddomain.local” with your Active Directory domain – Not sure how well it works? – shall have to (virtually) unplug a DC and find out.!!!
