Different user security for SQL and Exchange?

[3Saturns]

I am new to SBS 2003 and servers in general. Setting up user security is the part I am least familiar with.

I set up a network for a Veterinary practice running practice application on SQL server. I set up the SQL to just use the PC domain sign-on security. They want me to set up email for each employee. Each employee does not have their own PC -- they all share 4 workstations. Can I set up individual user security for Exchange without changing my SQL setup?

The employees do not want to have to use individual network sign-ons-- they like the way it is just workstation sign-on. Can I then setup Outlook Webmail for each to check their email?

You have to set up individual user accounts, but they can each log onto a small number of workstations using those accounts. If you make the accounts workstation-specific, the users will not have their own personal email boxes. You can continue to use integrated security for the SQL portion.

You really just need to steer the users toward user-accounts, particularly since JACO (sp?) and HIPAA audits will require user-level security for restricting and tracking access to patient data.

Who own's this vetrinary practice? Does that person have a say in this? Because you really DO want users to have their own sign-in. Otherwise, there is no control over network security. SBS is designed to be integrated with a full-time Internet connection as well... so security is rather important.

Plus, it's absolutely NO MORE difficult to log into a workstation than it would be to log into webmail.

ShackDaddy... I've done a lot of HIPAA compliance, but I really don't think it applies to a vetrinary hospital.

Ha! I just read "hospital" and skipped the specialty. Funny.
