"you ALWAYS logout, or lock the machine."

You're half right. You ALWAYS lock the machine. Never logout of a server.
Lock it for protection. There's no question here. It's the way it is for all
professionals.

You ALWAYS logout, or lock the machine. Period. MS employees have had that
drilled into their head for years. I know, I used to work there.
When leaving a workstation or server, LOCK THE DESKTOP.

Did I miss the reason behind not logging out? I can only think of two.

Thanks,
Shawn.

John, you have it backwards. I work for the Federal Government. We get
audited every 3.5 months. We are not ALLOWED to leave any server logged out.
The one time they caught us with only a few servers, they bit out heads off.
These are the best IT Auditors in the country. Are you saying that Microsoft
and the Federal Government are wrong? I think you've been working too hard
and have forgotten the basics, perhaps, here.

Some thing is really wrong here. In all the reading I have done, best
practice documentation I have read, IT personal I have talked to, Microsoft
seminars I have attended, Microsoft classes I have taken, Microsoft tests I
have taken, Microsoft Security team members I have talked to, never has it
been said that an easy admin mistake is to not have a computer logged on.
Just the opposite, only be logged on when needed.
