is this your M.O. for XenApp only, or all TS servers? I ask because I have XA fundamentals XA PS4 , 2008r2 RDS and 2012 RDS servers I maintain.

From: [email protected] To: [email protected] On a XenApp server, a weekly reboot is probably not enough. Most I've seen are on 48-hour or even 24-hour reboot schedules. The multi-user nature of the things (which means users invariably leave hung sessions, abandoned sessions, runaway processes) more or less necessitates this as a support function. So XenApp would get rebooted (physical or virtual) but I wouldn't do it for any other server. My two cents' worth.

Date: Tue, 25 Feb 2014 07:35:26 -0500 I’m trying to get some straight information on doing maintenance reboots of virtual systems. Some people I’ve talked to say yes, others say no. I’ve been doing systems admin work for a long time now, but only recently have had to get up close and personal with VM’s on ESX hosts. Yes? No? Why or why not? Learning new stuff is a good thing.
