The Federal Desktop Core Configuration (FDCC): Background, Deployment, and Management.

This whitepaper provides background, current status, and source data on the Federal Desktop Core Configuration (FDCC) that was mandated by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on March 22, 2007. Also included is the introduction of a software tool that enforces the FDCC on every PC automatically. All Federal Government agencies must ensure that their desktops and laptops comply with the FDCC immediately (effective February 1, 2008). As a result, there is a need for an efficient, cost-effective implementation process and for effective auditing tools. Without them, FDCC implementation will fail. This paper is written for IT staff tasked with implementing, managing or auditing the implementation of the FDCC.
