Hello all, Whilst we are not a government school we have done this already. The answer, as Sel points out, is to use a device which only requires an IP address and that a range of IP addresses be set aside for such a task. I also agree that the device needs basic services supplied to it.
We utilise the iPad as it conforms to these requirements and as very little IT input is required, makes the device perfect for this situation. Devices such as these (not just the iPad) that do not have any other interaction with the exception of the internet, and are restricted already by the operating system they use make a good solution for this requirement. * Obviously this is our situation and you need to consider my advice in relation to your own surroundings and policies you have to conform to. Kind regards, Robert Richmond | IT Manager Operations | BSC, MIT MCP, CNA, CompTIA A+, HDA, ITIL Please consider the environment before printing this email. * On 23 July 2012 16:38, KERANS, Sel <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all > > > > I think it would be a brave school to take on ‘connection’ for anything > more than an IP address and basic services at most - not total network > logon authentication … until we have protection automated on our servers > and are virtualising desktops - what an extra workload and heightened risk > management to take on otherwise.
