Subject: Management of laptops

 

Folks,

 

Any suggestions on products to manage laptops?  We have a number of
nomadic users who use their issued laptops with aircards.  Sometimes
they have a wired or wireless connection, but not at any of my locations
(these staff work off-site).

 

Staff don't have much access, they are all "users".  I am looking for a
product whereby I can enforce similar content filtering/web surfing
filtering as my corporate fire walls.  I assume I'd need some sort of
client for the laptops that would occasionally check in to a central
system for updates.  We are a Fortinet shop, and I'm looking at the
Forticlient, but am looking at alternatives.  We have an issue with
viruses on these machines (usually blocked, but I get the notices), and
that's usually from staff going to web sites that would be blocked at
the corporate level.

 

Suggestions appreciated.

 

Tom

Thanks for your suggestions folks.  We already use Vipre here so premium might 
be a good option.  SCCM as far as I know won't do content filtering, which is 
one thing I want.

And yes opendns would also work.
But hamachi would be great.

Re: Management of laptops

[justino garcia]

How aboute vipre perium enterprise, it can do web fliter over the the
internet, (and manage filters / firewall rules via console), ALSO USE A  ssl
vpn client that required to use the laptop before they can go on the
internet. And maybe thier a 2008 server tool, to set gp to enforce that.

RE: Management of laptops

Might look at Microsoft SCCM – it has the ability to do everything over HTTPS 
which is designed for Internet use. DirectAccess+UAG (if all your clients are 
Win7) would enable you to do GP and such over the Internet too.

RE: Management of laptops

[Malcolm Reitz]

McAfee has a product called Site Advisor. It has an optional web filtering
plugin that lets you set a PC-based filter policy for web browsing. The
filtering is pretty effective (the policy lives on the PC and it does URL
categorization lookups to a McAfee server over the Internet). 

It works as a browser helper object on IE or as a plug-in on Firefox, so a
determined user could get around it.

off-site).

Staff don't have much access, they are all "users".  I am looking for a product 
whereby I can enforce similar content filtering/web surfing filtering as my 
corporate fire walls.  I assume I'd need some sort of client for the laptops 
that would occasionally check in to a central system for updates.  We are a 
Fortinet shop, and I'm looking at the Forticlient, but am looking at 
alternatives.  We have an issue with viruses on these machines (usually 
blocked, but I get the notices), and that's usually from staff going to web 
sites that would be blocked at the corporate level.

Suggestions appreciated.

Tom

Folks,

Any suggestions on products to manage laptops?  We have a number of nomadic 
users who use their issued laptops with aircards.  Sometimes they have a wired 
or wireless connection, but not at any of my locations (these staff work 
off-site).
