I have NT servers automatically log in as administrator (server room is
kept locked though) so that in the case of me still being in bed when
somming foobars (regularly enough) someone can ring me, get the key &
have me walk them through what needs to be done (usually reboot or reset
switch)

This machine hasn't had a monitor connected to it since January :)
Last reboot due to some gobshite (me) pulling the wrong plug.
