Question : What is best practice for server 2003 rebooting (how often) in a non 24/7 shop to prevent random windows errors?
|

At my previous job, we would reboot our DCs once a month. After 45 days, sometimes our DCs or others would have strange errors. At my new job, servers go a lot longer but there is plenty of time for them to be rebooted.

I reboot all of our web-hosting servers once a week. I guess I'm paranoid about this, I've been around since NT 3.5. Maybe it's just a habit. I do know that after 30 days on clients servers, I start noticing instabilities.
It all really comes down to memory, processor and users. If you hava a lot of users and a slow processor or low amounts of memory, you will need to reboot more often.
I use the command "c:\windows\system32\shutdown.exe /r /t 10 /d p:1:1" in windows scheduler. I never have to think about it. I use similar commands to defrag hard drives on a schedule.
