Sigh.... if they are started, the lan is open. Say a sensitive machine that has data on it that only those with 
passwords can see when touching it's keyboard. The machine is turned off for the day and someone wanting that sensitive 
data who doesnt know the password to logon locally, an employee, wants in. Supposing he can get into the office to turn 
the machine on, that is all he has to do in order to access the data.

Dont tell me you dont see anything wrong with that?
