I do not want a laptop infected with Trojans and worms plugging back into m= y AD after weeks or months outside the LAN. Some of my folks may be gone a = semester or longer oversea teaching or up in the mountains writing a book f= or a year so they are on their own. Problems? If I can't resolve them over = the phone then bring the laptop in or mail it in. -Z.V. -----Original Message----- From: Ben Scott [mailto:mailvor...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, March 09, 2009 1:17 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Laptops: Local Homes, Roaming Profiles, Offline files...

It really depends on how often they come on to the LAN. I'm lucky enough to have most of our laptop users working in the office at least a few times a month. So roaming profiles do most of what we need. This is supplemented with CSC (Offline Files) in some cases. We've been lucky enough not to have significant trouble with CSC so far. Knock on wood. We've got three people who work in the field and rarely touch the LAN. These people carry responsibility for backing up their own stuff. I consider this a suboptimal solution, but it was judged the only thing practical for our situation at the time. Each user was equipped with an external USB-attach hard drive and a batch file which uses ROBOCOPY to sync their stuff to said HD. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ This e-mail message (including any attachments) is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
