Hello all,
I'm a student and I help run my classes servers, our school is a special
Public school that has more computers and less students then most high
schools. But my LAN class has about $5million in donated equipment
(including a brand new Foundry FastIron (est. $26,000) which is sweet!)

But we run a CISCO simulator which can not be ran as User, and we also
serveral games and what not that just don't work when in the user Group. So
our current solution is having our 22 computers on a workgroup and having
our servers on a domain. This is working well, but it just sucks when we
wanted to roll out a SUS server! (we had to run a reg script on each
computer)

So we are looking at different solutions. I'm a hard core Windows fan (MCP
working toward 2003 MCSA) but my teacher is thinking about a Novell or linux
solution. Basicly I'm looking for a good way to have serveral users be able
to login to the computer with more rights then a user, but not have rights
to install and screw with the computers.

My teacher keeps thinking Novell! Because then we all have a login and get
personal file storage and stuff, but we long in as a power user on the local
workstation. I keep thinking WINDOWS ROCKS! so far I'm winning but a
Junior (i'm a senior, and i have to win) is working on a Linux solution.

So any ideas would be great!

Thanks,
Jake
