How to set up pass-through authentication on W2K server

Hi Experts,

How do I configure passthrough authentication on the server, so the
following task will work. Here is the situation.

There is currently a spreadsheet on the network which is being used to
capture the date and do whatever calculations are necessary. The location of
the spreadsheet is in a shared location and we should recreate permissions so
only the necessary people have access. Since the prime purpose of the Tablet
is data collection using this speadsheet, I want to have a common logon for
anyone who uses this and it should not be part of the domain. The new account
needs to be created locally and on the domain so I can map a drive to the
spreadsheet location using pass-through authentication. I don't want people
logging on using their domain ID because they have roaming profiles and this
will mess-up everything.

THX in advance

It seems you are complicating things.
What is wrong, given your objective of having them not use
their own accounts, with having one shared domain account
that is defined to not have a roaming profile ?
