Ahh, I found it finally. Take a look at this first, it made me pause and wonder if I'd be spending my money wisely for my department.

I have narrowed my search to fingerprint based systems because as most of our "customers" are students, ease of use is a must and iris or voice based systems do not seem practical. Keyboards with built-in scanners are preferred because most of the devices I have found are small external devices that I imagine will grow legs and walk out the door unless there is a locking mechanism included with the device. I am looking for something that will work in conjunction with our current Windows XP workstations and Windows 2000 server w/ Active Directory; however, we will be migrated over to Windows 2003 server by the end of the summer so compatibility with 2003 server is a must. The purpose of this project is to provide the students with an alternative to remembering their password and provide quicker logon times. Any good/bad experiences with vendors are appreciated.
