Re: Question Regarding a Managed Desktop Environment

[John Bambenek <bambenek () CONTROL CSL UIUC EDU>]

The way we handle those kind of issues here is that if they manage their own
machines we place certain simple expectations on them.  If they get 0wned
because they didn't update their virus software for 3 years, then they get
to clean their own machines and stay offline til it gets certified.  That's
usually enough to encourage "ok" behavior.  I know some other departments
charge "cleaning fees" for infected machines.

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.

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
