Hi,
many of our k12 students will make a copy of their doc files somewhere else (emails, USB key..) when they work on the lab computers.
What is the purpose of a network account in that case? A local account with the possibility to save their files on a network share could be enough. No?
Pos:
1.Local account loads faster
2.Reduce the issues associate with network account (lose your connection, lose your file if you did not save!).
3.Reduce network traffic
Cons :
1. No authentification so no way to know who is using the station
2. If they use software like Picassa, their photo library won’t be saved since it is using a folder other than “/Document”.
3. They will lose their file if they forget to transfer them to their network share.
What is your opinion on that?
Thanks.
