Re: Certified Device Timer:
Once a week, Wednesday at 7:00 am.  We started doing this several  
weeks after first deploying CCA, in part because it was clear that  
there were a lot of desktops that were staying constantly logged in,  
and were not being checked as a result.  We chose Wednesday, 7:00 am  
because it fell after "Patch Tuesday," because it was neither the  
beginning of the week nor the end of the week, because we have fewer  
classes on Wednesday, and  because 5:00 am - 7:00 am was typically  
our lowest period of utilization.  We chose once a week because we  
felt it was often enough to ensure that computers remained compliant,  
and periodic enough that users would not be unduly burdened.
