I work for a goverment agency and they tend to be MS shops but the reasons why we want Drupal is because <br>we do not have the money in the budget and I like to bring in some open source to help change the IT mind<br>that MS is not the only way to go and that there are other choices. We do have an intranet and was build in <br>
2001 and I want to implement somthing more current..<br><br>All the stuff you mentioned sounds so easy but it went over my head. I will download the CAS and look at the<br>code to see if it means anything to me.<br><br>I am actually surprise that more people do not have the need for a module that automagically los users in.<br>

(which I maintain) at <a href="http://drupal.org/project/cas" target="_blank">http://drupal.org/project/cas</a>.
The primary difference is where drupal would get the username. If you got a copy
of the cas module, and replaced the cas client code with a " get the
logged in user from an IIS provided environment php environment"
chunk of code, enabled the drupal is cas user repository checkbox set it up
to require cas auth for all pages, you would have the starting point
of a module that would, (I believe) do what you ask. </font></span></div>

reaching for integration with Microsoft products then you might be better off
with sharepoint, but if you're looking for all the kinds of things that drupal
provides (modular extendibility, rich media integeration, etc) then this might
be worth your effort. Feel free to ask me any questions about the code if
you're interested.</font></span></div>
