ODBC Connection Setup

I'm running SBS 2003 Premium SP1 and all is well. I've installed a new SQL
based application that requires a simple ODBC connection to the SQL database.
I have about 50 PCs to setup this ODBC link to my SBS server and there must
be a faster way to do this via a script or through Group Policies.
Has anyone tried this and how? I've used GPs for simple things like folder
redirection, but I'm not that strong on it.
Thanks.

I've taken to using file-based DSNs placed in a server folder that everyone
can access. It's turned out to be the best solution in my case.
