i'd like to know how people out there manage the massive number of digital photos downloaded onto the network from digital cameras. it seems that every event there is a staff member takes 100's of pictures (of which about 10 are useful) and then downloads them straight to the servers. And these days the image files are nearly 10MB each so it takes massive storage space. i know quotas would prevent this however i'm not sure it facilitates it, by which i mean you want the photos taken and stored (good ones) just in a more controlled way. one method i was thinking is a web based photo management whereby images are uploaded and keywords etc added to create a managed catalogue. has anyone use such a system? i'd also be interested in how others are managing this. Thanks.

ok so the hp procurve management software should provide the authentication for the clients also? sorry for my ignorance we've only just starting to investigate the rollout of wlan across the campus and i want to sort out each stage of the project so we don't end up with nasty surprises. i thought we may need third party software on the client laptops that we would use to setup and manage the laptops wlan settings.

jumping in a bit late here but anyway. we are looking at implementing a managed wlan solution using hp procurve gear. the bit that gets me concerned is the config of the laptops. we'll have about half that are school owned so we can control the setup. but the other half will be student/staff personal laptops. how's the best way to manage the wlan settings on the laptops, i can see us setting it up, the user going home to their wlan and then the next day us having to reset their settings at school again. is there software that people recommend to do this? thanks.
