Haywood Engineering College is a high school specializing in Engineering. The recent acquisition of 190 netbooks provided students with the opportunity to take the netbooks home so that they could enjoy uninterrupted access to the school’s e-learning portal. This resulted in 'configuration drifts' from the original configuration. Moreover, users made critical changes to the system both intentionally and unintentionally. Diagnosing and repairing an issue would take up to two hours per system.
