We do.  Standardizing on a couple images has made our life much easier.  We
make all users Power Users.  Sure some faculty complain, but it's only
because they can't install some software.  We make some concessions here and
there.  But when we explain why we set them up as we did, most are
understanding.  And we make it a priority to get applications installed
quickly so that they don't have to wait.

Subject: Re[2]: Still trying to decide - Implementing a PM system

 This brings up an interesting question.

 Is there ANY .edu Admin on this list that has control
 over professor OS/App disk images? My guess is the answer is
 "no" so I would suggest no need to reply  unless
 the answer is "yes". I'd be willing to summarize answers
 to make the replies a single post rather than a pile.

 Personally I am OK with that although it makes
 my job more difficult.

 Edu IT tend to have a slightly different set of problems
 than the corporate IT.
