Disabling the checkbox seems to be a good interim solution although I can't
be certain that all AD sites operate the same as ours - for example it might
be a particular attribute entry (or missing entry) that causes the problem,
or, it might be related to W2K3 and not W2K8.  Personally I would just add a
note in "Release notes" to let users know that there is a potential problem
with AD if they try to enable that checkbox?
Thanks
Bob

  Using Active Directory LDAP for authentication. It seemed that having
  the 'Update user info on login' tickbox enabled caused Mahara to
  appear to go-offline to that user upon re-logins. I tried this with
  several users and it was repeatable. There was a similar sounding bug
  reported a while back I think - it may be the same.
