We have 1240 students here and we manage file security by making them
users and letting windows do the rest. You can automate this process
quite easily and it doesn't take us too (lol) long to create the 250
students per year we need.

Can you get a list of your students in electronic format (or type one),
because with that you can bulk create the users. I've got a PERL script
which you can have which creates pseudo random passwords which you can
then apply to them.
