Je suis working avec a startup c'est teaching kids to program. We've juste obtained our premier "fleet" of laptops - half a dozen refurbished thinkpads running Windows 7 - et Je suis looking for la meilleure façon de administer et maintain them.
J'ai déjà determined that it appears to make sense to buy a volume license key, so I can use reimaging rights et generate a single known good image I can write to tous of them, et use to wipe out a computer whenever J'ai besoin de to. What Je suis wondering about now is how best to manage them on an ongoing basis.
The laptops will run on a variety of networks - none of them controlled by us - et we've got no central office ou servers. We'd plutôt pas acquire any.
J'aimerais like to be able to easily push out updates et nouveau software to tous le laptops, as well as doing things like remotely configuring administrator accounts, et managing patches to make sure le laptops are kept up to date.
As a tiny startup, funds are limited, et money spent on software licenses is money we could have spent on more hardware, so expensive solutions are a bit of a no-go.
Does anyone have tout recommendations for how we can le plus easily do this?
