[itdiscuss] Personal laptops on church network

[Stephen Ollis]

Hi,

I have a separate VLAN on our wireless network that I allow non-church
gear onto. It is secured from the corporate LAN by ACL's on the router.
I only allow HTTP and HTTPS access to on-LAN webservers (webmail for
example) and Remote Desktop to a Windows Terminal Server (which has
drive and printer sharing disabled). Minimizes viral/malware risks, but
still gives them access to use the laptop as a virtual terminal.

If I had the $$$ to put Corporate Antivirus on the Terminal Server, I'd
remove the block on drive sharing.

Steve

Just curious on how others in church IT feel about allowing personal
laptops to have access on there cooperate network to work on files, etc
when the user is issued a desktop computer. 

I do not usually allow this - as I believe if a user needs a laptop for
their job at the church - we will provide one to them (because their
supervisor would have requested it when filling out the paperwork for a
new employee). 

What do you all think?
