Its much much easier if you use a central authentication database like
LDAP (or if its already in use at the site, Active Directory).

Thanks guys,
That's what I guess I didn't know. I was going to use AD integration but
these PC's are dom members but they logon locally as they run some lame software
won't run as a service and needs local admin to work, so I didn't want a domain
username sitting accessible.


you know individual Windows DOMAIN\usernames can be added to the local Administrators group on a workstation?
