Subject: [ITSUPPORTSERVICES] computer lab login times (windows OS)
All,
Would you be willing to share your thoughts, tips, tricks, recommendations and/or best practices in minimizing student computer lab login times?
Our classroom and open lab computers are running Windows 7 or 10 with DeepFreeze. We are not currently using roaming profiles or SSDs. We require students to log into the computers with their domain account – which of course requires
time for the local profile build. We have been testing a number of configurations to reduce our times – but would like to hear from other universities as to what methodologies have worked well for them.
Thank you for the consideration.
