This was our predicted nightmare - I think that the Head and I were agreed
on 4x2 clue sticks (with optional nails) for general support issues <wry
grin>
Our idea was to have a small stock of hot spares, and to negotiate a
central service contract for the hardware. By restricting the range of
systems used, it would be possible to simply ghost an OS onto machines with
a user-installation problem, and to loan a machine against physical damage.
Pupils' systems would probably be locked down to prevent installation of
unacceptable software, and to restrict tinkering with vital system
settings. (Our network systems restore the system settings at every log-on,
so probably something similar.)
Regards,
Paul
