[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Workstation names at login and Windows logins
All - I believe I saw something about this during the summer maybe, but can't seem to find it in the archives. We are an academic institution and even though we have one workstation at a service point (circulation mostly) there are MANY student workers throughout the day. At two of our service points, they do not have one generic Windows login for that computer, because our IT dept requires that EACH person login to the computer / network each time to use that computer. So. Is there a way to set up Evergreen to use a generic workstation name / login combo? I saw something about a profile manager and I have been using that to set up profiles for staff who need to login at different libraries in our consortium. But can that profile manager work for all WINDOWS logins on a computer?? Can you set up the profiles in a generic folder on the computer that is used by all users?Maybe the Evergreen client installation can be installed in such a way to be available to all users?How do we do that? Or is there another method? I would really like to know. Right now we are having to set up a workstation name for EACH user that logs into the computer at a service point. This is getting a little much - one service point has 12 student workers.And each semester some of them may come or go. IF there is any advice on this, I am most grateful! Thanks!

Hi Jennifer, I believe there's a permission in Evergreen that needs to be granted to users in order to have them successfully override and use the exact same workstation name again if it's already been used previously. I think it's UPDATE_WORKSTATION, based on the description for that permission: Allows update of a workstation during workstation registration override. So it should be that permission that controls when you need to perform a workstation override like registering the same name in a different session. -- Ben On Mon, Jan 12, 2015 at 4:10 PM, Walz, Jennifer jlw...@asbury.edu wrote: All – I believe I saw something about this during the summer maybe, but can’t seem to find it in the archives.
