Good Morning, I was wondering what everyone is using to manage their workstations. We currently have several pilot projects going to evaluate different products and technologies, and I was curious how everyone else is managing their desktops. We are primarily interested in how administrative workstations are handled, not necessarily how labs are managed. Here are a few specific areas that we are wondering about: - Is Active Directory the primary choice for managing Windows clients? If so, how widely deployed is it? All workstations? Also, how strict of a policy are you applying? - How are policies and other activities managed in AD? All centrally? Delegate OU administration? - What, if anything, are you using to push policy to OS X and Linux clients? - Has anyone tested or currently using products like Centrify and Likewise? Any advice or comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Andy Rivers University of Tennessee
