[Casper] 1-to-1 recommendations

[Ernst, Craig S.]

Hi Jeff,

We aren't one to one here, but I'm not sure it much matters. If you want to restrict end users from doing things to your machine I'm sure Thomas Larking will have some advice. I just wanted to answer the last part. It doesn't matter what access the users have to the machines. You manage your systems with a typically hidden administration account through SSH. Can work just on your network, off your network, pretty much anywhere you want to allow it to do things. The management suite is the tool that gets the system to how you want it, and how you maintain it.

Good luck!

Hi all,

Next year our school of 1200 students will be going 1-to-1, where every student has their own laptop that they end up purchasing (over four years) through the cost of tuition. I have a couple logistical questions and I would love to benefit from the experience on this list. Has anyone gone 1-to-1 that I could bounce ideas around with? I'm mainly stumped by what kind of access the students should be granted: should they be given admin access on their machines? How does that impair management with Casper? That kind of stuff.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
