How is the network "touched"? My own Vista Home machine goes through our SSL appliance. Then I do an RDP connection to my office desktop (or directly to servers I need to watch), and all is well.
Note that, as this is a home OS, it is also not a domain member. The Boss has a Vista HoitiToiti on his laptop, and it is a domain member. At one time he could connect remotely as a domain member and run his apps directly. (Then the appliance urged him to apply a security patch. It certainly was secure! Now he can't do this anymore, but Vista is not to blame for this one...) -------------------------------------- Richard McClary, Systems Administrator ASPCA Knowledge Management 1717 S Philo Rd, Ste 36, Urbana, IL 61802 217-337-9761 http://www.aspca.org "Todd Lemmiksoo" <[email protected]> wrote on 12/16/2008 02:52:09 PM: > My President is getting a personal laptop with Vista installed.
