The only response I've received, and confirmed with my lab support people as
their technique, is to add all eligible student ID's to both the Developer
Users and Debugger Users groups at domain level each semester. That way, a
given student can log on at any PC in the domain and use Visual Studio.
The respondent seemed a little confused by your reference to "through a
script preferably Group Policy?" and thinks that simply adding the students
to the above-mentioned groups will do the trick.

BTW, your comment on MSDNAA being "fee based" deserves a mini cost benefit
study. If the idea of paying $799 for the first year and $399 per year for
renewals is daunting, consider that you get access to almost every Microsoft
software product for use in your classrooms and labs, plus you can
distribute those products to your students as well. I have no idea how many
PC's and students you have, but even with relatively small numbers, the
benefits of MSDNAA vastly outweigh the costs.

Here is a second response that is along the same lines as the first.

I don't see why a script is needed. If there is a domain controller all that
is needed is to set up a AD group for VS.NET users and place each student in
that group. Then, on each computer in the domain you can add that group to
the local debugger users group. The way we do it is to have a group for each
course and the students for that course are placed into that AD group. We
can then give whatever privileges we want on a class by class basis.

Ah that is the great news I have been waiting for. I am supprised that I
didn't think of it. Oh well Thank you very much Peter you have been a great
big help. Also the licensing that we have on the software package does allow
us to do that for the students. I will be checking with what the Teacher
acutally bought.

Thank you again

James Robertson
