For you geeks..

I am working at a clients and they (and I) are evaluating Surface Pro 3's as a tablet/laptop replacement option.

I suggested they treat it as a laptop as it relates to joining the domain and patching it, yet the old school thinking they are caught up in is lock it down like a laptop/Desktop.

I am trying hard to convince them they need to start thinking outside the box and enable the mobility of it by not restricting the capability. Seems to be a tough sell, right now they want to create a "gold Image" for provisioning and again I suggested not to; several reasons but the main one being the lifecycle difference between a traditional device and the newer mobile technologies like the Surface - I don't think they could keep up the cadence.

The GPO(s) are currently killing me as well as I can't do certain things with it.

Wanted to get some input if any of you have gone through a similar situation.

Thanks in advance,

Bob James
