    I do this kind of work for a living and have successfully set up
    multi-office networks of twenty-five to fifty people. It's pretty easy
    actually, and these networks have stayed up for two years so far, without a
    virus or spyware outbreak in that time.

    Because I get paid to do this I'm not going to spout off a cookbook to a
    newsgroup. But you can start from here:

    ...and then see about using this technique in a Windows Domain environment.
    Think about including Roving Profiles and you'll be on your way.
