Remove your smart card when you walk away (locks workstation)
Restart at the end of the day so that patches and virus scans can be run
(restart clears the pagefile and restores lost memory due to memory
leaks)
Leave computers on during the weekend for other maintenance tasks such
as defrag and installation of new software

Our policy is as follows:
Lock computers _whenever_ you walk away from them.
Logoff at end of work day to allow patches and virus scans.
Shutdown for the weekend.
But I like the restart idea, for obvious reasons.

Subject: Workstation Shutdown / Logoff Policy
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.
