Hi Bryce,

Her we are using FingerPrint from DSE (*** Smith Electronic) and works
great.

I use it to login to XP, and also store most of my web login into it.
Also, you can add another user's finger to it without him/her knowing the
password, and anytime you can Un-Enroll their finger to cut their access.

It is a USB device and the model number is XH1710. I'm sure there are many
other on the market, but this is the one we got now and would not live
without it.
That said, I haven't tried on Server 2003, so cannot tell it it will work on
the SBS itself.

One more wish I have it that I could use it for Remote Desktop.

The integration in Windows is via AuthenTec driver and SoftPass software.

the price is relatively cheap, about $65USD per device.

I am hoping a way to plugin in into EAP Authentification like SmartCard come
out soon, then no more worries, I think ;-)

Hope this helps.

I think their website is www.dse.com (www.des.co.nz is where we got ours
from a trip to NZ)
