Jim, I'm playing away with Bart.
That's why the DOS clients were great.
And I love the SourceForge Thinstation because they can't do anything to
them. But by the same token it's really difficult to tweak em. I made
it so the lower level tech (without Linux knowledge) can xcopy from DOS
to the Hard drive and use syslinux to linux boot. But I've been
fighting with the com port redirection. The ports redirect with the
rdesktop but the baud rate needs to be set before connecting and with
no Linux smarts no way will they be able to support it when I leave.
Moving to Sidney Ohio, husband's company is relocating him. . I'll be
looking for a jobby job down there in Buckeye land and don't want to
leave em with a mess up here in Canada. May as well get in, in case
anyone it looks for a support tech.
Joanne

And the cool thing is that you could put it on a bootable CD and just
boot the workstation to CD. There is no way that they could muck it up
then!!

Could use WinPE and just run the RDP client from that.
BartPE has it all set up for you. Just pick and remove utilities
you want in there.

Not lockdown, but if you are really just interested in
keeping users from screwing up the machines and needing maintenance, you
might look at Ardence. The OS image is on a server and if configured
for this need, it will use a fresh image each time you reboot. There
are other refresh products out there, but these guys seem to have the
best implementation. If the desktop has a 4200rpm drive it might even
boot faster using Ardence than a native boot.

I had an all DOS client environment but needed to
upgrade built many RDP Linux Thinstations that work just fine for most
of the shop floor. I'm having some problems with the rdesktop and com
port redirection. So...
I have a need to build some windows clients. I need them
right locked down tight. Does anyone have any tips for building a
windows client that can't be tampered with?
Ideally it should function like a kiosk and just load
the RDP and launch the server desktop. Thanks,Joanne
