There are many functions in ADSI that may help you. I'm not sure which one would meet your requirements. But as far as I know none of them "force a user's login using Windows authentication". For example:
-Changing Computer Account Attributes
-Copying an Active Directory Computer Account
-Creating a Computer Account For a User
-Deleting a Computer Account
-Enumerating Computer Account Attributes
-Enumerating Computer Accounts in Active Directory
-Joining Computer to a Domain
-Moving a Computer Account
-Renaming a Computer Account
-Renaming a Computer and Computer Account
-Resetting a Computer Account Password
-Searching for Computer Accounts

We plan to drop all user logins from SQL Server and add the AD group as a SQL Server login. This way we can force strong passwords and the changing of passwords via Active Directory.
