Re: Question Regarding a Managed Desktop Environment

[Michael Ciri <michael.ciri () UAS ALASKA EDU>]

We have had a managed desktop strategy at the University of Alaska
Southeast for quite a few years now.

As others have noted, it was a major effort to implement the strategy in
the open educational culture.  When we first started, the move was
motivated by tight budgets and the need to provide high support with
virtually no staff.

Budgets are not as tight, but the network threats are much more
extreme.  My sense is that people are more tolerant of managed desktops
now.  In part, this is due to increased security awareness.
