Thanks John for the info. I think I will go that route instead of buying
an add-on.

Yes. You must use profiles to enable policies to work. It is a little
tricky to get working but works well when implemented. I've used it for
the
past year on 11 terminals in our shop and had no problems. Make sure
you
set the policy to not save any changes made to the machine, this way if
someone does change something a fresh boot will return the system to
it's
initial state. I also have Ghost images of my data collection pc's hard
drives saved on cd-rom in case of severe tampering/hacking. I can wipe
a
drive and restore the entire system over the network in less than 15
minutes. Good luck.

Subject: [Vantage] System Policies
What is everybody using to secure the desktop as far as locking down
screensavers, loading software, accessing mapped drives, and that kind
of stuff? I have had a little bit of trouble setting up policies. The
only way I got workstations to pull the policy for the users/computers
down from the netlogon share was to turn on profiles on the machines. Is
that correct? I didnt think I had to do that and I cant find any
documentation that states that I have to turn profiles on. Is there
third party software that anybody would recommend?
TIA
