When you say the need access to the server, what exactly do they need access to? Will it be an application running on the server or are you going to share a directory, or will the users have to log on to the server console (physically or using terminal services)?
Restricting access can most likely be done by creating a Group in your domain and adding only the specific users to it.
If you don't want the server to show up in other users network neighborhood I believe you should disable Netbios.
If you want a share to be hidden from users, make sure the sharename ends with a $.

I agree. First disable Netbios over TCP/IP on the server so that it won't be broadcasting. That way there will be no record in the master browser of the server on the network.
Next within AD remove the Everyone group from the security properties and add the Accounting Dept group with at least Read permissions. This way it won't be seen in AD by nosey people from other departments that like to snoop.
Then on the server itself, configure permissions for the share accordingly.
Let us know if that worked.
