Sure, but this requires that you create domain logins for "build" users (or
other automated processes).  Not hard to do, but it seems somewhat backwards
to have to create a domain user for something that will never log into a
machine on the domain.

And for automated build users, you either have long ticket timeouts, the
password is encoded in a script somewhere, or you have no password.  Most of
those are insecure anyway.
