Previously they have been using Windows 7 home laptops without profiles or logging into XP desktops with roaming profiles. Their server is Windows 2008.<br> <br> The laptops will be used inside the organisation (over very poor wireless connections)and at home. Presently they do not have remote access so I will not need to set up a VPN.<br> <br> What is the best way to set up these laptops and can anyone point me to resources to help me do so. Think setting up Windows Laptops for Dummies here!<br> <br> The current laptops all operate simply as 'guests' with mapped drive access. post:ask.metafilter.com,2012:site.226606 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 15:22:04 -0800 chairish windows server network
