Windows user workstations may be unique to every user in an organization, or may be defined by group, department, or any kind of organizational unit. However defined, workstations are based on a basic framework consisting of a few different components:
Optimal performance at server and desk level, automated documentation, license monitoring, and application usage
Authorization and access to files, applications, removable disks, and other resources
An underlying system that controls the availability of applications, printers, and resources
Resource assignment to drive and port mappings, network printers, registry and policy settings, home and profile directories, data sources, and email
User profile presentation of language, wallpaper, color, screen saver, start menu, task bar, and icons - enabling user customization/configuration
A key element to a well managed workstation environment is creating a uniform desktop environment. Standardizing hardware, operating system configurations and applications, preventing users from making major changes to the configuration of their workstations, and centrally monitoring and managing the environment puts you in an ideal situation to be able to run an efficient and successful Windows desktop network.
