When we set up a domain at that time, autologin went away due to requiring CAD to log in.

I'm not really seeing why you associate the SAK requirement with
autologin - they're not really related. I believe you can do
autologon, even with the SAK requirement on.

 The
network consultant is as well, he says he has NEVER set up a non-server PC
to do this.

I can perfectly understand the Autologon requirement for Clients in
some cases, for example in the Point of Sale systems we deploy,
Autologon is usually enabled to a heavily restricted user which just
runs the Point of Sale application. And has no access to any important
data. The PoS application also has it's own user management and screen
locking mechanisms.

But why would one anyone ever use Autologon on a server?

What else can I give them as reasons?

Don't reason. Policy is policy. Passwords are required, not optional,
not open for discussion. There's no way you can ever win such an
argument, as people that want autologon on their clients are obviously
out of touch with reality. Thus, an argument based on facts like
security is going to fall on deaf ears.
