Are they going to be installing software or running as an administrator? If not sounds like the Leopard guest account would be a good way to do that. http://www.tuaw.com/2007/10/26/24-hours-of-leopard-guest-user-account/ Joe -----Original Message----- From: MSU Network Administrators Group [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Cheryl Akers Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2008 9:39 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [MSUNAG] Mac clients? We will be running 2 where each of 25 students will use a Macbook with pre-installed software but will need to access the internet to do their assignments. We would like the Macs to return to a clean disk image after each class. It has been suggested that we either: 1) Have the Macs run as clients from a server that will store all the changes and the data or 2) Have the Macs boot to a server after class is over to install the standard image again. I think the campus computer labs do a combination of 1 and 2 above? I'm not a Mac person so I'm not sure if other solutions exist - we'd like to do without a server if possible. Thoughts? Suggestion?
