So that students can't make possibly pernicious changes to student stations, we're running DeepFreeze quite happily. I have a nice little control console for my labs from which I can do lots of useful things, like thaw them to make changes on student stations, restart them all, etc., either to one room, one station, a few stations, all stations, both rooms, etc. However, our college system, in its continued efforts to standardize, systematize, and erase all individuality and assimilate everyone into one collective where all unique cultures will be adapted to service said collective, will soon force us to switch to CleanSlate. My question is: Does anyone currently use CleanSlate? If so, do you know if various labs all over your campus can still have their own control console to thaw, freeze, reboot, etc. the computers in their lab(s) only? Or must they all be controlled by one Borg Queen? Can these consoles and groups exist in such a way that the admin over a given lab can't have access to other computer stations on campus (we'd hate to be the accidental cause of restarts and unwanted thawing in other people's labs!)? If you have experience with CleanSlate, and can address this, I welcome your reactions either off-list or on. Resistance is futile. Comply. (or not...)
