I worked at a place where several managers left their PCs on every Thursday night because they believed local drives were imaged to "the server" weekly.
I never found this mystical server with enough space to hold a 1:1 copy of every local drive but I did put in an estimate to build one.
My suspicion is someone high up had this hare-brained idea and the IT Mangler played along knowing it was less painful than explaining why it's ridiculous (sending that much traffic over a 100Mb network in a 24x7 operation for a start)
You learn to image disks and for some "special" users you screenshot the desktop because if the icons are rearranged they complain it's broken and refuse to use it.
Happy days!
Biting the hand that feeds IT
