IMHO, leaving the server logged on, whether or not locked, is a security risk. Any thing that can fire from the server with a user logged in will run under the permissions of that user. If no one is logged in, they first have to authenticate. If you consider a computer sitting there not logged in a security risk, time to look at user access policies and password policies.
