Okay I have read the many articles on the workflow setups for Offboarding and check and balances that have been posted, which we have in place using Service-Now Task which isn't a problem.The problem we have is actually getting the users to return the ite. Offboarding: Getting the Equipment Back! Best Practices & General IT.Any other ideas as to what is out there? Starting to research now. I can't see spending that extra money for nothing. We have Code42 pro right now, but the new contract is set for a minimum of 100 clients. Backup Software Data Storage, Backup & Recovery.If you use imaging and cloning then Clonezilla works very well. In any event if you have an image of your hard drive as mentioned above you are safe.ĥ. As others have said if your installation never goes on the internet or has USBs with malware on them inserted you are safe and no need of anti virus. If you have the XP installation disk with the right licence then, in the event of motherboard failure and the impossibility of getting old hardware then you could install it in a Virtual Machine.Ĥ. So if you want to continue with XP then see if you can buy a backup motherboard.ģ.

Also, XP will not have the drivers for new boards. Your licence may not allow you to transfer XP to another make and model of an old XP capable board. If your motherboard dies then you could be stuck both licence and hardware wise. (Hopefully you have the XP installation disk with the licence number.)Ģ. If you get bad file corruption or a hard drive failure then it would be useful to have an image of the existing hard drive so that the reinstall of your XP system is easy although Windows licencing just may produce a hiccup if it thinks the hardware (such as the hard drive) has significantly changed.

Some extra thoughts about your situation.ġ.

Understand that you want to continue with XP as you know and enjoy its capabilities.
