  I'm not positive that I understand.  Where do you check these out from?
Don't the people you check them out from make sure they're configured
correctly?

  Pretty much all of the items you've mentioned can be downloaded
automatically as needed, if the laptop is configured to do that and if the
network includes a DHCP server.  DHCP was designed so that administrators --
and users! -- never have to worry about properly configuring individual
machines one-at-a-time.
