We force it in our computer labs via the shutdown.exe command issued
from a server. We will also be rolling it out to our admin network in
the very near future.

So, from the looks of most of the replies, folks are counting on
GPO/WSUS to
enforce screenlock/updating, but rely on the end-user to restart their
systems.
Anyone actually forcing reboots?

all:
Our current policy is that all stand-alone workstations have their
screensaver set to a 10 minute screensaver with the password required
to
log back into the system. We encourage people to power off their
machines at night but we don't become the Power Gestapo in enforcing
this.
Our WSUS is configured to redeploy an update if the client is powered
down during the initial push of an update (normally an early morning
hour with little other traffic on the network).
On our Citrix clients all clients have their session terminated after
three hours of inactivity. This ensures that all clients are logged
out
at the end of the business day. If for whatever reason they are not
fully logged off the servers, the Citrix servers themselves are
rebooted
once a day as well.
