Unfortunately, if you have a mixture of diverse hardware & software (our library & labs have very different equipment & software & our classroom have older 486s) plus lots of users who can potential logon anywhere none of these automation techniques are really ideal. Plus potentially like us you might want to offer different desktops & software to different grade levels & teachers.

We spent 2 years looking for the "magic solution" and found nothing we could even come close to affording. One way or another we realized, lots of hand crafting was inevitable.
