I'm not so concerned with all the security updates and such with the
Macs that I would be with the PC environment. <another reason I
like the Macs> I think it would be a nightmare to continually have to
touch each computer. Unless I can run them all around the same
time . . . I don't mess with having different versions of everything
running. That gets too crazy with different versions of software.
I think you should ask for all new computers on the Mac platform if
you can't let them do it nor do it how the others have suggested.
Then you don't have to worry about it. JK
;-D Trying to send some humor for the day. (trying is the key word)

Ok. But how about like all the updates that are released
throughout the school year. What do you do than.

I have the building principals collect the teacher laptops in the
summer at checkout--and then have those done in a 2 week period or
thereabouts so they can have them back to work with. This year I
also collected them overnight/over the weekend and ran updates
during December. Student computers I do over the summer while
cleaning . . . if I get to it during the year it gets done,
otherwise it just happens in the summer.

How do you guys keep your computers up to date. Teacher computers
and student computers. I sent out instructions how to specifically
how to up date your computers but our principal does not want them
to do it.. Please give me advice on what you do because for me to
go around and manually do it myself every time windows releases
updates would take all my time.
Thanks
