Windows 2003.  I reboot nightly 10 minutes apart for each server.

On a side note, I was wondering how many of you have a reboot schedule
enable on your Metaframe farm.  What OS and the how often you reboot.
IF you stagger the reboots in different parts of the farm, etc.

I've a client who absolutely refuses to schedule reboots on the farm,
They have Windows 2000 farm and firmly believe that Windows 2000 does
NOT require reboots.  I believe that part of the problem is that they do
not want unattended reboots, as they are afraid servers will not come
back up.  Seems kinda funky to me, but I wanted to get a feel for what
the rest of the communicty is doing.

Thanks

Spencer

Hello All,


Since it's Friday I thought I'd ask something that I've been wondering
for a long time.



I'm a consultant and I focus 100% on Citrix and server-based computing.
While I work with a lot of different IT departments, I've never actually
had to run my own Citrix farm day after day. (Which means I'm either
totally lucky or a total sham!)



Anyway, as Citrix administrators, what's the one thing that's the
biggest pain in the butt in running your Citrix farms? Printing? AV?
Security Patches? Profiles?



Hmm. maybe I should say "other than the users, what's the biggest pain?"
:-)



Just curious,

Brian
