Jun 5, 2017 at 13:19 comment added Xavier J @Stijn BYOD is not terrible if the environment is built for mobile (I.e. pads and phones). But I can't see a large, centrally administered Windows shop ever adding personal laptops to a domain. The risks are high and the maintenance costs are, too. My last job allowed salespeople to buy their own laptops, but mgmt changed its tune after supporting all the variations became unmanageable.
Jun 5, 2017 at 11:49 comment added Stijn de Witt I just wanted to note that this stance towards personal machines has been steadily changing over the last years to be more welcoming to such devices... Management jargon now includes the term 'BYOD', Bring Your Own Device, to talk about the policies governing this.
