Sick of moving computer equipment around.

Hi,

I’m a JR Network Admin and work for an organization with multiple sites. The problem is department supervisors have a need for users to rotate between workstations and sites. I have a need for them all to stay put since me and the administrator are in charge of 300+ workstations and it seems that as soon as we are done setting one up there is a “need” to relocate equipment elsewhere in the building or to a different site. We do not have technicians to assit with equipment relocation. User desktops are virtualized so their stuff follows them around in the network but peripherals such as scanners must remain with a particular thin client due to licensing and localy installed software. Thus, when they move a user to a different site for whatever reason is important to them, it is expected that the user have the same equipment available on the workstation they are temporarily assigned to. How do you all deal with this!? Or is that just part of the job and I need to live with it?
