When a PC is joined to the domain for the first time using the http://<servername>/ConnectComputer wizard it's main function is to join the workstation to the network. It also assigns a primary user to that workstation, but you can easily have ANYONE log in to any machine on your network with their own username and password.
The only problem you'll face is that they need to be a member of the local administrators group in order to have Outlook auto-configure for them. What I do is just add the "Domain Users" group to the local administrators group of every workstation to accommodate for this.
That Sounds Scary! - What about Security?
In SBS we always have to balance security against usability. In my opinion and others (although there are those who disagree of course) the balance is "Good Enough" security. There is a good article on this so that you can form you own opinion here: http://sbsurl.com/security
If you add more CALs to your server, you may want to consider adding DEVICE CALs, which are designed for exactly this scenario... multiple users on one computer. That way you don't need to have a CAL for each person.
