How big is your office? You might want to look into getting a Windows Server or Linux/Samba server for centralized user control. Without it, trying to keep track of users in Windows is indeed a pain.

- Some of our networked systems don't show up at all, but I can find them in Windoze using a computer name search. The OS2008 File Manager can't see those systems either, and I couldn't find any way to search for a computer by name.
You can turn broadcasting off so your computer doesn't announce itself to the world; that's probably wasn't going on here.
