[support] Drupal + IIS + windows

[Néstor]

I work for a goverment agency and they tend to be MS shops but the reasons
why we want Drupal is because
we do not have the money in the budget and I like to bring in some open
source to help change the IT mind
that MS is not the only way to go and that there are other choices.  We do
have an intranet and was build in
2001 and I want to implement somthing more current..

All the stuff you mentioned sounds so easy but it went over my head.  I will
download the CAS and look at the
code to see if it means anything to me.

I am actually surprise that more people do not have the need for a module
that automagically los users in.

Thanks all for your replies.

Nestor :-)
