We use the IME enrolment plugin to handle enrolments. This is our default enrolment mechanism, but I can't select default in the enrolment plugin administration page. Nor can I select imsenrolment in the enrolmet plugin setting on the course settings page even with ims enrolment selected. Can anyone explain this?
Thanks,
Paolo
IMS Enrolment is not an **interactive** enrolment plugin, so you can't select it as the default interactive plugin 
The plugins you can choose from both the enrolment plugin administration page (to make it the default) and the course settings page (to choose the one you like for that particular course) are just those that are able to process interactive enrolments.
This is, if the course is set to enrollable and a user tries to enter the course where s/he is not enrolled, s/he is asked (interactively) to do perform some tasks before s/he is enrolled in the course (like clicking on a 'Yes' button, or paying some money in Paypal, or something like that).

It will be quite tedious to make this change on a course by course basis for those of us who do not want any form of **interactive** enrolment. Is there a workaround for this?

The quickest way to do it is by updating your database to set all courses as non-enrollable:
UPDATE mdl_course SET enrollable = 0;
and modifying .../moodle/course/edit.html, the lines that read:
if (!isset($form->enrollable)) {
$form->enrollable = 1;
}
to:
if (!isset($form->enrollable)) {
$form->enrollable = 0;
}
You just need to make sure you apply this change to future upgrades of Moodle.

Yes, or we have developed a plugin that will set course setting defaults by category. You can read more about it if you search for my post on the general developer forum. The latest version I posted has bugs in, but let me know if you interested.
Iñaki, on a separate but related point, do I need to set up a separate cron job to process the IMS-E enrolments?

I don't use IMS-E enrolment, so I don't really know. I'll have a look at the code... Ok. I've had a look at it, and the IMS-E enrolment plugin already has a cron() function that is called from Moodles cronjob. So I don't think you need to set up a separate cronjob.

Thanks Iñaki... Yes, I had a look too (and a try) and it is, indeed, triggered by the cron.php. It just wasn't being triggered because the xml file it was looking at hadn't been updated since the last time I had manually run it.
I may have more news tomorrow.
