For small numbers of servers... probably 2-ish hours per month. The more you have, the larger economies of scale you can implement, using tools for server lifecycle management (ConfigMgr with OpsMgr and others of that ilk) until you get to the largest environments where you will just automatically reimage every server every month or so. But that does mean you have more people involved in server management, just handling more servers per person.
