I’m looking for a solution where we can limit Windows computers to a few key applications and save files to a limited number of folders. Hope to lock down the desktop with only a few applications as well.
Is a type of Kiosk mode what I’m looking for or is there another name for this type of configuration or application?
I sysadmin for a small non-tech business chain with 20 locations. All computers are maintained individually. The main computer in each location is in the manager’s office and we want to replicate the experience between locations.
We’d like all the computers to organize and operate almost identically. Desktop shortcuts, browser bookmarks, limited internet access, same folder paths. Central management is a plus but not a must.
We had started looking at the Windows Kiosk mode, toying around with Fences, looking at Hexnode or InTune, but I’m not sure if a “Kiosk” is the best description for this.
Am I looking in the right direction?
