Hello! My department purchased me a laptop, and it's setup in a way that is new to me, so I'm just asking a few questions.
The Win10 login screen is replaced by one that validates through my employer's server. A local wired connection is required with company credentials to login for the first time, and subsequent logins can be from anywhere. Files in the My Documents folder are automatically synced to the server. There's no antivirus installed. My IT said it's set up this way for security and so they can do updates.
Would someone please explain to me how the login screen overrides how users are normally created in Windows? How is security being done without an antivirus program? How are updates administered? Can my employer view my files that are not synced to the server and see what programs I have installed?
I'm not planning on changing the setup, I just want to understand it before I sync my work files to it. Thanks!
