He must be working late to impress someone, because it sounds like when he exits it's in a big hurry. He must wait till everyone clears and then he hightails it out!

wow. I can't get my folks to remember to shut down completely, or at least turn off their monitor.  And I do have one that tends to work really late, and he constantly forgets to logoff.

I can't believe that people forget to log out. We have a rule here that you
shut down the computer at days end. In 5 years that I've been here, I think
I remember 2 times that people forgot to shut down. They can't possibly be
in that big a hurry to leave. They'd hang around all nite to get their
paychecks.

I use it here because the old cleaning crew had a bad habit of trying to
access stuff on users PCs that weren't logged off. It helps to take care of
"memory" problems (people forget to log off...etc). It also keeps people out
while the backups are running.

Our auditors just wrote us up.
Here's their statement "The credit Union is not utilizing time/day
restrictions in Windows.  These setting restrict users from gaining network
access during non-business hours. If not set appropriately, these accounts
can be exploited to gain unauthorized access to the network".

We have not dial up connections to the network.  The only thing we have
setup is to allow a connection to the Exchange server for internet email.
We have eight digit passwords and an account is locked out after 3 invalid
attempts.

I don't believe having logon hour restrictions will improve security but I
would like other opinions.

Opinions???
