For all the reasons already mentioned I wouldn't do it.
Also, (and I am willing to be corrected if I am wrong) I have been told that should some sort of litigation at your company come up that could involve data on the user's computer, a judge can order their personal to be seized for investigation. The user may want to take that into consideration when thinking about using their own computer for business purposes. ________________________________ From: Don Andrews [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2008 2:11 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: User wants to use their personal laptop. I believe you're being just paranoid enough - we don't allow that either for all the reasons you mention. ________________________________ From: David Baca [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2008 10:36 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: User wants to use their personal laptop. I have a user who wants to use their own laptop for business use. He likes the way it's set up but I have always been the one who says it's better to have the company buy one and keep personal and business separate. I see this could be an issue of privacy and also an issue of control in that i have no real say on what is installed on his machine and what if any policies can be inforced. Your thoughts? I don't want to be paranoid and i see the cost savings in having him use his own computer but am i asking for trouble in the long run.
