[OPLINTECH] Windows 8/8.1

[Michele]

I'm also interested in knowing how everyone is locking down the Windows 8
computers. We are thinking about adding some laptops for circulation and I
have some concerns about security.

The decision was made to update all of our computers to Windows 8/8.1 from
XP computers. Our first phase has been Managers/Administration. This process
has been smooth and no real issues have come up. I'm looking for input on
public computers. Has anyone out there updated their public computers to
8/8.1 and how do you have them set up. Currently, our public computers run
through Envisionware and the patrons have to sign in using their library
card. They are locked down to only allow internet and Office access. Looking
for input on your processes and any issues you may have had.

 

Thanks,
