If you don't have a server then convince your boss to buy
on Linux/ unix will work but i'd get something like
Windows 2000 pro Server. This makes it really easy just
make sure that you have a network setup connecting all the
computers. then have the computer join the server. you
store all the users on the server not on the computer but
what you do is have the users that you think should be
admins join the administrators group. then later you
delete them from that group and put them into a restricted
users group. you can also use this to share saved files
from the server to certin users. but remember once you
share a folder and restrict access to that folder there is
away to get around that by taking ownership and changing
the settings. ALSO REMEMBER DON'T SHARE A WHOLE DRIVE
(well try not to) JUST A FOLDER AND REALLY NOT THE ROOT
DRIVE.

Have Fun,
