Hi All,
My Mediawiki is running on a linux machine in our intranet.

authentication is done using Microsoft AD. Is there a way to automatically log in users to MW site if they are logged into the Windows domain?

Unfortunately, my plugin won't currently do what he is looking for. The next version of my plugin will incorporate web server authentication, which will allow the use of mod_auth_kerb to do the automatic AD authentication.
If you are willing to pay for a plugin, Plexcel does what you are looking for. Their requirements are somewhat strict though.
Notice if you don't care about more advanced features of the LDAP plugin, and just want authentication, you can probably just use mod_auth_kerb, and use one of the following plugins:

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AutomaticREMOTE_USER
I'm pretty sure there are a few more extensions that do the exact same thing too...
V/r,
