Re: Not an IT problem
I'm no great fan of chains of command, but allowing any service department to issue orders to productive staff is a recipe for disaster. You'll almost certainly end up with contradictory instructions (IT says all desktop PCs to be left running overnight; Estates says all desktop PCs to be turned off overnight is one I've met). Nothing wrong with organisational policies but they need to be properly formed, not pulled out of the arse of a sysadmin who can't be bothered implementing efficient backups.
