I been tasked to build an Intranet and am trying out various CMS to power it. We are using Windows Server 2003 with XP clients and IE7. I want to make this the homepage for all users, but I don't want them logging on to the Intranet. I am looking for a system that will read Active Directory and automatically log them on to the Intranet. I will also want to be able to assign Drupal permissions and roles to diferent users i.e. most will just be authenticated but some will be authors.

I will also want the authors real names to appear in any posts that the make as well as authenticated users real names to appear in any forum discussions.

Will this be possible in Drupal and if so what are the modules I will need for this.

Thanks
TJ

NTLM & LDAP Authentication module works with AD, I have not tried the NTLM option. Drupal has built in access control, just create your roles and assign permissions. I do not know how to make real names appear instead of usernames. Best thing to do would be to browse the modules http://drupal.org/project/Modules/name you will probably need other modules.
