Word. Domain-joined system but they auto-login as a local user that belongs to the "guest" group in Vista, with a few other lockdowns that mimic Steadystate. Public machines are a completely different can of worms, and even the above isn't perfect but I can go several months at a time (been almost a year I think at this point) before getting a call for support on them.

I always assumed I was missing something. We've got lab computers for a couple thousand students and have any issues to speak of.

It makes the overall lifecycle maintenance of a desktop environment a heck of a lot more complicated. The question I always pose (and usually don't get much of a response to), is "what problems/issues is DeepFreeze protecting you from that running as a local user wouldn't solve?"

From: Bambi J Saastad [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, January 04, 2013 11:36 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Replacement for SteadyState Hello I was wondering if any of you could suggest a replacement for SteadyState. I have a roomful of pc's that the factory users use for browsing etc that I am replacing with Windows 7 Pro that need to be locked down. Can anyone suggest a product that does the same thing, wipe out any changes on reboot?
