They'll learn when Yoda disappears.  That's what it always takes... then a
nice cold.  "I don't give a damn.  You were told to expect this.  You were
even told to specifically expect machines to disappear".

Never fails.

Unfortunately, not in any satisfactory way.  I'll look into blocking access
to the directories you mentioned, though.

We could blow 80$/client on boot-ROMs and remove their hard drives.  Now
_that_ would force remote storage! :)

Unfortunately, the cost wouldn't end there.  We'd have to get a 10/100bTX
switch to go with it to compensate for the extra load.
