Freddy, I agree with Peter and others: and high on the plan priority is limiting student access, locking the desktop and software restrictions. In the pre-AD computer lab I worked at we had to manually reimage the PCs weekly. You probably want a RIS server, too.

Your project is doomed to failure without this scoping and "management buy-in" from day one. neil -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Peter Jessop Sent: 26 May 2005 13:37 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] restructuring domain Freddie This is really a worst case scenario. �A school! On this listing are many people who know better than I but I suggest. Lower your boss's expectations. I don't think it is realistic in a week. You will only clean up this environment when you reinstall the PCs. Applying group policy on this setup may not be sufficient to obtain you expectation. You also need antivirus, SUS server for patch update, user policy. Before you start I would write down a plan and cost it in terms of money and person hours. I hope you don't have to give classes as well!
