Windows Authentication

Hi Gang,

I'm trying to enable SQL Server 2000 to run on a network or Wind 2K Pro and
Win XP machines using Windows Authentication and think I have figured out
that the only sure way of doing that is if all the computers are on a domain
and for that I need the server machine to run a server version of Windows.
Am I correct on that?

Thanks.

Steve
