Converting to Windows Authentication

I've got about ten Windows 2000 Sql servers that I am
trying to convert from sql server security to windows
authentication. There are currently two sql server logins
that generally have the following database-level
permissions on these sql servers:

Login1: Datareader, Create Procedure
Login2: Datareader, Datawriter, Create Procedure, Create
Table

We have about a dozen client workstation-type machines
that access the Sql Servers and run a variety of VB jobs
that hit the sql servers. These jobs run semi-randomly
and depending on the job may use login1 or login2. In
other words, any given client machine uses both logins
throughout the day to hit the same server/database
combinations.

That leads to my question: how can I convert to windows
authentication when a trusted connection will always use
the network login of the machine and the corresponding
permissions that I have assigned to it in sql server? It
doesn't seem that I have the control that I do with sql
server logins to have different permission levels coming
from the same machine?

I would appreciate any ideas...
