And I loved what our Exec Pastor had to say about it:

Jason, the "guy that gave everyone local admin rights on their PC's".
What brought you to this decision? I have had issues with some ministers
being out of town and needed to install some drivers for their Flip
cameras and were not able to. I am also wondering if you looked into a
way to allow them to install only certain types of files etc. 

Thanks

Typically if a staff asks nice enough we'll hook their personal laptop
to RPC-HTTPS outlook and map some drives for them.  First we check over
their antivirus and such to make sure their laptop is pretty secure.  If
needed we install our sophos software on their laptop (it's part of our
EULA).

YMMV since I'm the same guy that gave everyone local admin rights on
their PC's ;-)

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? _______________________________________________
