Re: Connecting Nonschool issued laptops to your school's network

Hello, all--
Please keep this thread public. It's increasingly interesting. One
additional question-- does your school have laptops for students to
check out? We have 20 laptops in the library (wireless) in addition to 3
separate tech centers with desktops galore on campus, but don't allow
'unofficial' student laptops to access the internet on campus, for
security reasons (makes the server susceptible to viruses, downloads,
general bugs). What do other schools do?

Thanks--

Afternoon,

What is the general opinion of tech director's and network managers
regarding nonschool issued laptops to connect to the school's network?

Does your school also allow internet access with nonschool issued
laptops?

=20

If your school does allow network access, what policies(please share)do
you have in place regarding support for these nonschool issued machines?

What prerequisites does your school have for the guest machine to
attach? Antivirus, patches, spyware protection etc.?


Thanks for your assistance.
