That's fine, but authentication is the issue - what gives these days?

Are the Win clients in a domain already? If so can't you use that for

There is no "domain" at present - and while it might be the way forward in the future, right now with the mix of 'home' laptops and so on that need to connect I think it's not going to be a go-er for now.
