Hi, I'd love to know about the same issues. Right now we can't get any more
specific than demographic groupings (what department, what year) but I
personally would prefer to have one account/user. So far, the best things I've
seen for not having to deal with the data entry are the following:

1) use a Unix file/application server. Users must login to it to do
anything. Account names and passwords can be borrowed from the existing email
services. I believe UC Davis is doing this.

2) UC Berkeley has self-service stations for setting up your own account.

As for payware, I don't know of anything for NT, though I would be willing to
bet it exists.
