ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS - QUESTION - For each session, when would be have access to the government laptops and how much lead time would we have to install and set up each laptop for class. Would be using the same laptops for all sessions? Would we need to re-set the laptops for each session? ANSWER - We do not want any software or files loaded on the government laptops. Most laptops are used to access the command network and have a network generated profile which means that the users typically do not have admin access on the laptops to load software. Also, the government cannot guarantee disk space for loading software. The intent of the laptops is for use as a remote desktop terminal to access a virtual desktop on the vendor's server that is preconfigured for the training class. The vendor is expected to host a totally preconfigured training environment. The only communication between the vendors server and the government laptop will be through "Remote Desktop".
