Ok, I'm having trouble verbalizing the benefits of NT Authentication over SQL Authentication is "fluffy" terms.

It's much easier if desired to see that Bill Jones did or did not do X yesterday.

The fact that Batch_Operator did it, isn't that useful when there are ten people who know that user password, it's batchop and it's on a post-it next to the workstation.

You can if you wish to get completely anal assign/revoke permissions to individual users with out burgering up anyone else.

Last but not least, there is a significant cost overhead in maintaining two password systems, for any non trivial number of users.
