use of computers on exams

We are in the first year of a 1:1 environment and are experimenting with us=
ing computers on semester exams for essay writing. Currently, we have creat=
ed a special log-in for students that restricts access to local network dri=
ves and the Internet; it works well but is a huge undertaking for our tech =
staff and I'm not sure it will translate when we try to have computers used=
on in-class tests as well. Any suggestions out there that will appease tea=
chers in terms of test security while not draining our tech resources?
