After much trial and error, I found the cause to be a conflict with the WP Super Cache plugin, I had to disable the following from my wp-config.php file: define( ‘WPCACHEHOME’, ‘/var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/’ ); //Added by WP-Cache Manager
WordPress is deciding whether you are logged in or not by checking AUTH_COOKIE and LOGGED_IN_COOKIE. As you have noticed these cookies are set in the same, let,s say, A domain which your site is. Adding the same cookies to your second B domain would make your user logged in in two A and B domains. … Read more
Use the plugin WordPress MU Domain Mapping. Read the installation instructions very carefully. There is also an ebook WordPress Multisite 101 where you can read more (like migration from single site installation etc.). You can activate themes per single site as usual. Or set the constant WP_DEFAULT_THEME in your wp-config.php depending on the host name: … Read more

This really has nothing to do with the theme customizer. From the Codex on moving WordPress : Existing image/media links uploaded media will refer to the old folder and must be updated with the new location. You can do this with the Velvet Blues Update URLs plugin, or with a search and replace tool, or … Read more
I haven’t tested it, but it should be possible with these steps: Use example.net (not .com) as main installation for the multisite (or areallybigteam.com). Install WordPress with subdomains. Create the sites. Edit the URLs of all sites as you need: blog.example.com, team.example.com and areallybigteam.com. Make sure the document root for all these (sub)domains matches your … Read more
Domain mapping works for both subdomains and subfolders (AKA subdirectories). It used to not be available for subfolder installs via the WordPress MU Domain Mapping plugin, but that’s no longer the case for a long time. With that being said, it’s for a self-hosted blog (WordPress.org install) and not for WordPress.com.
I am not entirely sure that it would work with sub-sub-domains. 🙂 Most of your requirements (IIS aside) seem very manageable: consistent design would be easy to achieve with shared theme (or several child themes if required); users can be easily assigned to multiple sites, using single login and account (through editing site in Network … Read more
Multisite cannot be installed in a subdirectory of the document root currently. This will be possible in 3.5. See Multisite on Windows with wildcard subdomains for a guide how to manage subdomains automatically on Windows with XAMPP. You can move the plugin directory to another directory per wp-config.php. This is possible for themes too, but … Read more
