This is a question IT Support

Our IT support guy has been in the job since 1979, and never misses an opportunity to pick up a mouse and say "Hello computer" into it, Star Trek-style. Tell us your tales from the IT support cupboard, either from within or without.

Well..
.. the logic where I worked was if theres a power cut and every single worksation is dead, theres really no point in sapping up more evergy from the UPS keeping the massive switches, wireless access points, firewalls and modems alive just for a handful of laptops. At the end of the day, the laptops will only have 2-3 hours left in them anyway.

Well...
You'd want at least some switches up so the UPS agent can receive the message that the power's gone out.

I guess no two organisations are the same and would do things differently.
