Re: [tech-cord] XP Pro
We've got two workstations on XP and Novell and they seem to like Netware very well. Then there's BVU, where all their 200 new laptops have XP. (Old lease expired, now have Gateway 1400s) If you want, we could ask one of their techs come out and talk about how they manage. Might be interesting, but it might have too much a Novell slant for some. >From what I gather, the original thread asked for info on managing policies in XP. I'm not sure they do much of that, other than using Zenworks to manage the MAC addresses in their WAPs. It seems to me that the summer HD load has all their printer drivers, but gives students total Admin access to the local OS. Let me know what you think and I can pursue this if you like from my end.

Re: [tech-cord] XP Pro
Hi, We are using VCasel 2000 on our W2K Pro workstations at our HS and things are working very well. I would be glad to demo the system if you want to come and visit. The VC website is: http://www.vcasel.com/vc2000.htm Under FEATURES you can watch video demo's of the program options. Scott F. has been trained on this product and Beacon is an authorized reseller (Chet has also been thru training and done several installs). The VC company is out of Illnois and great to work with. -- Tim Buenz Director of Technology Jefferson-Scranton Comm. Schools 204 W.

Re: [tech-cord] XP Pro
I have been looking for any information on this. The trouble is that XP is designed for a business model, where it is one person per workstation. All the information I have came across fits in that model, not the school model where users move from system to system. A similar problem to how Microsoft handles home directories. That was a simpler solution to solve though to match the needs of the schools. So far the simplest to use solution that I have used is Visual Casel (VC). VC pushes the settings to the workstation when a user logs in, and will set things like "Power Users". I have not seen a solution that makes XP manage like 9x. As soon as I can find a good solution I will set up a class and let everyone know. So far the basic solution is what Bruce has described already. \ / Scott Fosseen - Systems Engineer - Arrowhead AEA 5 \ www.aea5.k12.ia.us/aeaphone.nsf/Web/FosseenScott / - Original Message - From: "Bruce Stevens" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Technology Coordinator" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, September 05, 2002 10:33 AM Subject: [tech-cord] XP Pro > Does anyone know enough about XP Pro to give a staff development on the > system and how it works in a multi-user environment? > > Bruce Stevens > Technology Coordinator > Wall lake View Auburn Schools > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --- > ---Wall Lake View Auburn Schools scan e-mail--- > [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus] > [This E-Mail scanned for spam by Declude JunkMail] > > --- > [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus] > > - > Archived messages from this list can be found at: > http://www.mail-archive.com/tech-cord@aea5.k12.ia.us/ > - > --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus] - Archived messages from this list can be found at: http://www.mail-archive.com/tech-cord@aea5.k12.ia.us/ -
Re: [tech-cord] XP Pro
Bruce, XP has a pretty sharp learning curve, not as easy as going from 95 to 98 or 98 to ME or any of those to 2000 Professional. I also work with several businesses that bought new machines this summer but had me install either ME if they bought regular XP or Professional 2000 if they had XP Pro. They didn't want part of their systems on one operating system and part on another. As they add more machines with XP, at some point they will switch enmasse. It now seems that they made a good choice even though I had my doubts at the time. I think your request for XP training is right on track.

With Novell one might use ZenWorks. WIth Microsoft would one use System Management Server (SMS)?
