So do I, but I dislike "extended" downtime worse ... which is why I like to reboot NT4 servers occasionally. So much "crap" goes through the servers that their performance tends to degrade as they remain running. Having the BIOS(es) run a check on everything once in a while makes me feel warm & fuzzy. I like warm & fuzzy.
Now, I agree, once a day is too much, but once a month isn't. I didn't have SQL on NT4, however. SQL on our W2K Server was such a joy - never reboot! :) And our Oracle software consultant required us to shut down and restart the server EVERY DAY. ?? Like the other prevalent thread today wrt CD-burning, it sounds a bit more like SysAdmin opinion than an industry standard/fact. Agree? Andrew S.
