This is primarily a client support issue and an issue of how your domain
is configured.

If you really are using an NT4 domain then you may be able to get NTLM
authentication to work; at least with Outlook.  That can provide
single-sign on.

Aside: if you are really using an NT4 domain - upgrade, yesterday.

If you are using an Active Directory domain then use Kerberos / GSSAPI.
This would work, no problem.  Kerberos rocks!
