7 ************** from [log in to unmask] Hi all, We've been running DeepFreeze, Enterprise version on the entire campus at CSUMB, including the language labs, with Win2K and now with WinXP, on our Sanako Lab300 installations. We usually deploy the image with Altiris and have the Sanako Media Assistant Duo installer on the Admin desktop to perform that configuration of the installation after deployment. It's been a successful tool for 3+ years and has cut down considerably on the amount of attention I have to give to supporting the lab--doesn't work? Just reboot! And when upgrades to the Sanako products come out, we have a clean installation to work from (I've moved from Tandberg v.3.x to v.4 to now Sanako v. 6). On the support side, the campus IT department manages the DF console with one tech who usually works with me to develop loadsets and eventual changes to the installations. Feel free to contact me for follow up information, Gus __________________________________________ Gus Leonard Language Laboratory Coordinator School for World Languages & Cultures . Building 48-119 .

I haven't used it, and so I can't render a judgment. However, one of our IT guys put me onto the (free) Windows Shared Computer Toolkit, which I have used with success -- and I am not by any stretch of the imagination expert in these matters. It allows you to lock down the HD quite effectively. It also allows you to lock menu options in IE and other Windows apps, among other things. You do have to have SP2 installed, but it sounds like you have that. Here's the link the download. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/sharedaccess/default.mspx Hope this helps.
