Hi John,

We rolled out all HP laptops with our engineering staff receiving CAD HP 
laptops. These laptops all use the same universal dock that we also have setup 
at hot desks in the office.

Users are meant to bring their own dock into the office when they come in and 
then take it home etc - we have not allowed a second one to be purchased.

All desks have dual monitors.

We manage all our devices through Intune.

We use VPN for staff to access the Council network should they require. We are 
a full 365 site now, so the VPN demand has decreased.

Kind Regards,


Abby Clark

Hi All

Like Brett, we are also looking into this.



*           Would you mind telling us what type of Laptops you have deployed?

*           What docks you use? Monitors with inbuilt docks?

*           Remote access method? Thin client, VPN etc.

*           Deployment method? MDT, WDS, AutoPilot, Intune



Thanks,

Good morning all,

We are considering our plans for the future with regards to computer equipment 
procurement for all staff. There has been a 'reactive' move to more laptops and 
mobility over the last 12 months due to COVID.

Have any council's out there made the change to 100% laptops for staff, to 
either introduce hot desking, or just to allow work from home for all staff if 
required?
