<p class=MsoNormal>Our Worship Arts dept is insisting they have some computers
they believe have no need to be on the network or under IT’s protection
(“control” is actually the word they used). But they still
want to be able to transfer files between networked and non-networked PCs.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am wondering if anyone else is in this situation and how
you handle the non-controlled (or less controlled) PCs in your environment (PCs
include Macs, too)?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>As a compromise, I am currently thinking that even these
computers should be networked (for their stated need, as well), but can be
outside of the regular nightly updates and would only be updated
monthly(?). Additionally, these PCs would be outside of the usual desktop
control. And one person in their department (the most computer-savvy),
would be given local admin rights on their PCs (giving them the faster/instant
service) but would be responsible for reporting to me anything they needed to
do with these rights on any of their computers. And above all, EVERY PC would
maintain proper antivirus protection (currently using SOPHOS on Macs and PCs).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>PLEASE… any thoughts or suggestions???!!<o:p></o:p></p>
