I'm not sure but I have a small idea of it :  if you don't have an 
Active Directory server, a way is to setup a domain controler NT4 like 
Samba (free software),  It seems little bit complexe as you need to 
setup a backend ldap server with a particular schema to store the 
information of workstations, then setup the samba server, then join each 
XP workstation to the domain of the Samba Server (exactly like AD) .
An another way is to replace the Gina.dll in windows XP by a new Gina to 
auth from various source as ldap  (there are some free project like 
pGina.org that is hosted on sourceforge). In google look after "Gina" or 
"pGina.org". I suppose you will need to replace the DLL and configure 
each workstation that is waste time on a big park of stations.
