Managing laptops in certain environments can be daunting. Reboots are a must every now and then, especially for monthly windows updates. With the sleep and hibernate features being enabled, the chances of a user rebooting a laptop become far less. A laptop can go weeks and even months without a reboot. Working in the legal industry, as I do, adds to the complexity of forcing reboots as you have the issue of not causing a reboot during a hearing or during a client meeting for instance.
