Check Group Membership across Servers

I am writing a client/server application that is using Remoting across
TCP/IP. It does not use IIS or ASP in anyway. What I am looking to do
is take the users WindowsIndentity from the remote machine client app
and check it to see is it belongs to a group on the server running the
server side app. The server is not the domain the server on the
network. Just a standalone 2K Server. On the server I have a couple
groups defined such as MyAppAdmins, MyAppUsers, MyAppOperators. I want
the server to check the WindowsIdentity of the user on the remote
machine against its groups to see what type of role the user is in.

All of the users are domain users. So if I look at the members for
MyAppAdmins
the users look like MYDOMAIN\user.

It does not appear that WindowsIdentity is remotable unless you are
doing it via IIS. Does anyone know of how to pass a WindowIdentity via
remoting so I can do a IsInRole call on it?

Thanks,

Kev
