Case Study: Salford City Council achieves secure, centralized desktop management with ScriptLogic Desktop Authority

ScriptLogic Provides Safe and Secure Desktop Environment for Over 26,000 Student Accounts and 5,000 Staff Accounts at Salford City Counci

Salford City Council, responsible for serving residents across a large education network, needed a secure and centrally managed desktop environment for more than 26,000 student accounts and 5,000 staff accounts across 100 sites. With many schools previously unnetworked and a mix of older and varied hardware, the council turned to DLT Solutions’ Desktop Authority to help manage Windows desktops reliably for both staff and students.

DLT Solutions implemented Desktop Authority to provide centralized user profile management, role-based administration, and point-and-click control in place of batch scripting. The result was a more resilient and secure desktop environment, less need for on-site visits, and faster remote support for schools. Salford City Council said the solution would deliver ROI in under one year and renewed its three-year contract, showing the measurable value delivered by DLT Solutions.
