A couple things you should look at.

1. See how frequent the LDAP synchronization is occurring.
2. Look at your LDAP query as it may be selecting users of a certain group. Also, I'm not sure if the LDAP query detects whether the newly created user must sign in first before the account is activated.

AUTH against ADS works for me right now …
using this entries in alfresco.global.properties:

### AUTH against MS-ADS
authentication.chain=alferscoNtlm1:alfrescoNtlm,ldap1:ldap-ad
ldap.authentication.active=true
ldap.authentication.java.naming.factory.initial=com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory
ldap.authentication.java.naming.provider.url=ldap://serverip:389
ldap.authentication.java.naming.security.authentication=SIMPLE
ldap.authentication.escapeCommasInBind=false
ldap.authentication.escapeCommasInUid=false
ldap.authentication.userNameFormat=%s@test.local
ldap.synchronization.java.naming.security.principal=ldapreaduser@test.local
ldap.synchronization.java.naming.security.credentials=verysecret
ldap.synchronization.groupSearchBase=ou=intranet,dc=test,dc=local
ldap.synchronization.userSearchBase=ou=intranet,dc=test,dc=local
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

right now i have two problems:
1. how to set up ldaps?
ldaps didn't work by only changing the url from ldap://serverip:389 to ldaps://serverip:636 …
something more to do? like setting up the path to the cert-file?
but where/how to config this?
2. how to delete a user in alfresco when user is deleted in ldap?
didn't found a solution yet ;(
