This question was prompted by a comment left on another question pointing to this article. What Is Clean Code?I was thinking about how that sentiment can be applied to shared resources (servers, etc).What are some of the ways you've found that work to ensure that when others use a shared server they clean up after themselves?Delete files / folders after one time use (after a fix or upgrade)Leave the desktop clean of crapDon't install software that they can use on their desktop Don't create filesystem shares not needed for the solutionYes, this applies mostly to a windows server environment, in a team of developers + support staff of about 25. I know there are a few ways to tackle the problem, so what have you found that works?
Methods to encourage good behaviour when using shared servers?

The problem is very similar to dirty toilet problem. The classic approach is a shield please leave the cabin in a condition in which you would like to find it (forgive me my poor English).Combining this with a simple monitoring/mailing scripts should work fairly well.
