CB supports authentication plugins. Joomlas LDAP authentication plugin will work, but it will only create the users with the most basic of information. Ideally you'd make a custom LDAP authentication plugin that'd create a CB user and synchronize the information as needed. This would all happen on login attempt. The alternative is to have your Active Directory 2008 R2 fire a direct action in CB Auto Actions via URL that can register them.

Posting this to old LDAP threads, just as a convenience to Joomla LDAP authentication plugin users:
If you are using the LDAP authentication plugin of Joomla in Joomla 1.5 through 3.7.5: Stop what you are doing and Update immediately to Joomla 3.8.0 (LDAP-security release) !
If you don't understand what LDAP is, then it's not an issue for you (you should sure upgrade to Joomla 3.8, but it's not as urgent).
