I do not know what the default desktop is.
I run xfce4.
Does a mouse right click on the desktop bring up a menu?
Down the bottom into 'Applications", then 'Settings", then "Desktop"
might help initially (change back ground)

What are the systems?
When our SOHO grew to multiple linux systems. I developed a list of
USER+UUID, so each user(real or virtual) has a unique UserID across all
systems. E.G
   USER    uid
  fred     12001
  hugo     12002
  mary     12003
  gisop    12004
  webadmin 12005

So your can do 'sudo adduser fred -uid 12001' and so on.
Hint 'man adduser'
You can set an initial passwd and require them to change it.

This way, using NFS is problem free.

The hard part is getting everything existing initially standardised.

I can not help you with password management systems. YMMVv, but I juust
found them overly complex for our need.
