Yes. Please ensure that the Open Firmware Password (OFP) has been configured on your workstations. The OFP prevents users from being able to change to a different boot device or from booting from removable media. More information on the open firmware and instructions on setting the OFP can be found at: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/openfirmwarepassword.html. Users need to set the OFP to prevent the workstation from booting from alternate disks.
