Our practices are:

* Lock when leaving desk for less than 30 minutes
* Log off when leaving for 30 minutes or more
* Leave on overnights and weekends (When we run utilities and updates
using WSUS)
* Restart either at the end of their day, or the beginning

The challenge is getting them to actually do it!

I would like to hear what other Admins / IT Managers - Directors have
set for workstation logoff and shutdown policies.  Modern PCs use more
power and can handle startup and shutdown better than they used but
having pcs shutdown at night would prevent the ability to run updates
when users don't need them.


It's been my policy to have users


Lock computers when leaving for lunch


Restart when leaving for the for the day


Shutdown for the weekend.



I'm curious what others are doing.
