That is pretty much how we do it other than we use PMP for access to the servers and it uses a rolling password, that way we can audit who logged in by the access through PMP using their domain creds as opposed to their normal login creds.

Again, this isn't about the actual passwords, but is about people not having consequences for any behavior that puts the company at risk when they know better.
