They have access in LAN since they are part of the AD. Maybe policy on
bringing laptops will solve my problem.

Yes. Personally I like "Public User Beatings",..but hey,..that's just me.
But seriously, yes you have to control what people bring into the
building,...but if management won't back you,...then you are screwed, the
wars is over, you lost,...let them do whatever management wants to let them
do.

But in any case someone is suggesting to use IPsec Policy along with Group
Policy.

A full mesh IPSec network is insane.

Think simpler. Combine the ability of Management to control their employees
(point made above) with just simply not having unused wall jacks lying
around "hot". Unplug them at the patch panel. If they start plugging the
laptops into where there workstation was plugged in then Management has to
deal with that. Word gets around that someone got fired or suspended
without pay for a few days, it will be amazing how behavor will change with
the rest of them

If wireless is the case then the users are not supposed to know the "Key" in
the first place. You are supposed to configure it for them the first time
and it will "remember" the Key after that. They won't be able to see the Key
themselves after that.

You can also combine the feature found in the Active Directory Accounts to
set the machine names of the machines the users are allowed to log in with.
That won't help in every case by itself, but the combination of all these
things working together will make a difference.

Computers are not "babysitters",...Managers are.
