RE: Laptop security

[WALI <hkhasgiwale () gmail com>]

Hi

An unrelated question on laptop security but would be glad if someone could 
answer. What's the usual practise when it comes to assigning local 
usernames and passwords. Should the users be given local administrator 
accounts? If laptops are part of domain, how can the users continue to 
logon from their homes when there is no domain available and they do not 
have local accounts on laptops?
