admin rights, mac or pc .. it doesnt matter now, yes we join them in, yes they are responsible for backing up etc. We configure for wireless / internet / printing / Novell client etc. We provide a secure lock at their desk and a storage locker for valuables.<br>

Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
We are going down the path of the staff buying their own standard<br>
notebooks through the school instead of purchasing the notebooks for them<br>
like we have done up until now. We are giving them a choice of 2<br>
notebooks.<br>
<br>
Just seeing in terms of staff notebook, what other schools do?<br>
<br>
Also do you give the staff admin rights over their notebook to install<br>
their own legal and / or opensource / freeware / shareware software, etc.?<br>
<br>
What do you do about staff not wanting to buy the standard notebook, but<br>
they wish to purchase their own (or already have their own) - do you join<br>
them to the domain or another alternative connection or just no<br>
connection?<br>
<br>
Do you support both macs and pc's at all?<br>
<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
