I have a request from a customer to upgrade their Servers and Workstations, for the workstations they have requested Windows 10 (Pro or Enterprise) if possible.
This is in a highly secured environment where any new PC or Server is setup and tested offsite. Software loaded, current updates performed, etc.
Once the PC or Server goes through the doors of this facility it cannot ever leave (old ones are shredded onsite), and it cannot ever be connected to the outside world again, period. They are 100% fully air gapped to their own internal network.
Any and all updates for OS or any other software must be taken in via special encrypted flash drive they supply or on DVD. Anything going in is fully scanned by them before it goes into the facility.
My question is how will Windows 10 behave in this environment?
I have only played with Win10 on a virtual machine since most of the software I use won't run on it yet but I have heard horror stories on how it constantly wants to "phone home".
Anyone have experience, knowledge or comments on this?
Thanks!
