I have found that a proper implementation of Group Policy and locking down end-user machines fairly tight has saved me countless hours of troubleshooting and repairing Windows client PC's. Computers that I have built and locked down are still running strong, five years after I deployed them. With zero maintenance. I love active directory and group policy. Locking down a Linux machine is a bit tougher. I found a nice tool called "Kiosk Tool" for KDE, but it doesn't have any sort of central mechanisim for managing clients.
