Reboot Machines
Best Practices
- It is strongly recommended that when you leave for the day, log off your machine. This is suggested for a number of reasons, in particular there are a number of security updates that are applied automatically overnight.
- It is also strongly recommended that at least once a week you reboot your machine when you leave for the day. This is suggested since we deploy software updates automatically when the machine reboots. If you don't reboot on a regular basis, when you happen to finally reboot your machine after a month you may have to wait an hour or two for all the updates to be installed.
