I take it you're considering SP6a an odd numbered SP? The only really bad even-numbered SP was SP2 for NT4. Some folks commented about SP4 for NT4, but I didn't have problems with it. Even SP6 had only one side effect, and it was very limited. - ASB -----Original Message----- From: Miley, Dan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2001 11:44 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Scheduling NT Server Reboots It's always the applications that cause the most problems. The boxes I have with just services (file/print, exchange, wins, dns, etc) seem the most reliable. put a 3rd party app on there, reboot time. (or at least stop/restart service). sql server up since 11/4/00 I had a pdc that I replaced after being up 2 years when we had to replace the UPS in the datacenter. Then again, I've got print servers that I reboot almost weekly, and a CD tower machine that has a scheduled reboot Sunday@ midnight cause of crappy drivers. for reliability, divide work among servers, don't use version 1.0 of apps, don't use even numbered service packs, don't run 16 bit apps on servers (or dedicate a box). anyone else have reliability tricks to share? Dan -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Oppermann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2001 1:28 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Scheduling NT Server Reboots I have been looking around, hoping to find a way to do automatic reboots to an NT server. I heard there was a reboot program on the NT Resource Kit, and after purchasing it found out that the particular program has to be manually run and activated, but it does reboot any manchine on the network. How can I force the reboot of a server at say 10:00 pm every weekday night? Matthew Oppermann Systems Admin Symbiotics, Inc. Want to unsub?
