I've had, during my career, different experiences and reports. The average is for reboot-the-damn-machine :) If servers "works", NT seems to be unable to successfully deallocate some kernel objects and the system become "bloated". This heavily depends on the activities of your server that, if it spends 99.9% of its time inside the idle task, could make you to observe pretty high uptimes. - Davide
