said by Moffetts:Have any of you reached the magic 1000 day uptime level on any of your Windows boxes? My current leader is an Exchange server at ~475 days.
Before I retired my old windows 2000 server, I was at ~600 days. Since it sat around, and simply acted as a local file server I never patched the bloody thing once it was nice and stable. Back in the 90's one of the places I worked at had a NT3.1 server that had a 731 day uptime on it. Probably would have gone longer, but the UPS on it failed during a power outage, and so did the drive. Though nothing quite beat my old BSD 1.1.5.1 box, which ran until the HDD gave out. 1100 days. Poor old Quantum drive, so noisy as that bearing was going.
Anyway, as for reboots? Meh. The biggest problems seem to be craptastic drivers causing problems more than the OS itself. You'd think that WHQL would have "fixed" that...oh who am I joking?
