GC&SU is using a managed desktop for faculty, staff, and computer lab
environments though we are receiving a lot of arguments from faculty who
want full control regardless of stated need.

Subject: [SECURITY] Question Regarding a Managed Desktop Environment

Good Morning,

I just wanted to query the list and learn if other schools are working in a
managed desktop environment.  I would like to produce some documentation
which identifies the pro's and con's of this type of solution through the
people who actually use it.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks in
advance,

- Chris
