I'm sure there are much better ways, but we just make our users bring their laptops in periodically for updates. We don't provide desktops to anyone for home use.

I have many users that use laptops out of their cars, or desktops out of their homes, etc. that rarely, if ever actually connect to the network by wire. They'll access their e-mail through the web, and for some, that's as much contact as they have. How do you manage that type of system? Ensure security updates, AV updates, etc? Is it even possible, realistically? Any thoughts are appreciated. NOTICE: Florida has a broad public records law.
