Kiosk Mode

Editors Note:  As much as we appreciate Microsoft supporting some sort of kiosk mode we can’t help but wish they could recommend “assistive” products like KioWare and Sitekiosk which eliminate the “learned my lesson” or didn’t.  Companies who have spent years analyzing and dealing with the situation have a much more robust, time-saving and cost-effective solution. There are more complex solutions such as Nanonation and 22Miles which can also be used depending on the situation.

Over the last 25 years we have seen repeated recurring cycles of company network technicians bored with their current tasks and deciding that by reading a few articles and running a test on their PC that they are perfectly knowledgeable.  No offense but one critical credential for any supplier/provider is “how many times have you been hacked?”.  Unless you have been hacked, repeatedly, you are essentially a neophyte.

Finally, no offense but it is worth considering Android for in-house locked down access. Active Directory is one vector to consider eliminating.
