School issued doesn't necessarily mean school owned. Many districts (especially private) include the laptop as part of tuition and do the setup but it is the student's machine.

Once you find a software solution, don't forget the hardware. I recommend shipping a Logitech or HP webcam as well as a decent audio capture device to the person to be interviewed and have them ship it back when done. Low cost, and you standardize the video and audio capture quality.

Juniper corporate office doesn't run Enterasys on their edge, just as Microsoft doesnt use apple in their environment. No sane person running a business would be using a competitors product in their business because:

A. Cheaper. you can get it at cost (or close to)

C. Marketing / Sales "Our product works perfectly here, come and see it at its best"

As a frequent traveler, there is quite a bit of truth to the danger of MLK boulevard. While they aren't always in bad neighborhoods, there does seems to be a high frequency of MLK blvd appearing in areas that business travelers would be wise to roll up their windows and lock their doors. Something along the lines of "Liquor store, pawn shop, liquor store, pawn shop, liquor store, OK fellas, time to roll up the windows."

Linksys homeowner AP's have the ability to add time restrictions to wifi access, but that would only work if the basketball and sunday school are on different schedules. Also If you just don't want the guests to have access to your internal network, set up a guest SSID vlan tag it and add a route to go straight out to the internet, doesn't really touch your internal network and in an environment like this its a simple solution that covers due diligence on your part.

I quite agree, MSE gets deployed at most of my client sites due to A) Budget Friendly B) Updates with Windows Update C) Simple interface

Don't get me wrong, love Firefox for smaller sites but the lack of Mozilla handled Group Policy integration (I know there's an add-on somewhere) makes it a no no for me in my larger environments.

New Hampshire is first in the nation primary, Its not a caucus.
