I'm pretty excited about Window 8 To Go for these scenarios. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ken Schaefer Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2012 9:55 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: How many in your company can join systems to domain
BYOD isn't going to be a "free for all". You bring your own laptop, but you'll access everything through VDI, or something else that keeps the company's system somewhat separate to your system. Windows RT is a differently kettle of fish IMHO - it's not an open platform.

If a staff member brings in a home laptop and joins it to the domain is it more of a threat or less of a threat than not being in the domain and just plugged into the network. I ask because here after they reboot they will get all the patches, up to date AV software and no-one except IT Staff will be a local admin. Most won't even be able to get to a command prompt. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
