We also use Deep Freeze in our clusters. This seems to work fairly well for us. There still is an occasional machine that goes awry. We have to allow the users to be a local administrator because of the software some of the professors require the students to download and install for their course study. All users who use the cluster machines must authenticate with their login ID and password.

The lab folks use a combination of Ghost and DeepFreeze. They also allow each user to be a local administrator on PCs running a mixture of Windows2000 and XP! What are others doing to lock down their computer labs? thanks, ted -- Ted Frohling (TF30-ARIN) The University of Arizona 520.621.4834 Assistant Director CCIT Room 126 tsf-at-Arizona.EDU CCIT - Network Services PO Box 210073 www.Telcom.Arizona.EDU/tsf Tucson, AZ 85721-0073 ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Discussion Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/cg/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Discussion Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/cg/.
