Since this is more or less a desire to limit the scope of an install,
is it possible to create a network segment just for that class, and
use it as the filter? You could limit DHCP expirations to something
like an hour, or immediate (depending on the equipment) - just long
enough to grab some software and install. No mucking around with
groups and other such nonsense - more or less a giant filter is
enabled without you having to know the details.
You could patch in a local subnet or VLAN (wired), or setup a WAP and
give it a temporary password (put it on the blackboard or something
simple) - set the policy in casper to allow self-service for that
policy within that network seg.
Since this gets into the network side of life...you never know -
depends on how nice those guys play. Then, when no longer needed, turn
it off.
