Richard and I talk to Greg Lamothe at RunAs Radio about Windows SteadyState. SteadyState allows administrators to configure PCs to roll back to a base configuration after every reboot. Combined with Group Policy for restricting access to resources, you can create the perfect kiosk computer that cleans off all traces of the previous user, ready for the next.

Todd Lamothe is a Systems Administrator for the County of Lennox & Addington — Information Services Department; supporting their Libraries and Museums throughout their 12 points of service. He also provides support for the Leeds & Grenville and Prince Edward County public Libraries as well as other departments within the County of Lennox & Addington. He is a member of the Ottawa Windows Server User Group (OWSUG) and its associated certification study group, member of the board on the newly formed SQL Pass Ottawa Chapter and is also a Microsoft Certified System Administrator and a Microsoft Certified Trainer. He started using Windows SteadyState in the County of Lennox & Addington’s libraries when the program was in Version 1.1 and called the Microsoft Shared Computer Toolkit. He was part of the closed beta team for version 2.0 and now is working with 2.5.
