[THIN] Re: Reboot schedule

In my older designs we used to restart nightly and it seemed that we had
less problems. We are integrated with Novell here and we constantly seem
to lose profiles connections (which are on the NW server). We also have
some home grown applications. In addition we are experiencing the now
familiar Auto create printer issues that others have mentioned on this
board.  A restart seems to stop these problems. I wonder if I just went
ahead and did this nightly if it would eradicate the issues totally.

 

 

The difference in this location is that we offer remote usage 24 hours a
day. I realize I could stagger the restarts, and that users will get
notified when the servers are restarting.

 

We will be building a new farm with Windows 2003 and no Novell soon but
until then I see the restarts as a good measure to take. Of course any
suggestions against or for are always welcome.

 

 

Thanks,

 

Mark

What are your reasons for wanting to reboot more often?

After encountering quite a few recent issues I have been considering
restarting my farm more often than once a week. In smaller farms with
older versions of Citrix I used to restart nightly. It seems to me that
I am finding more and more reasons to do this and I thought I would tap
the general knowledge of the group.

 

I guess my question is "Is this still a normal thing to do?" 

 

I currently run MPS 4.0 with W2k. 

 

Thanks,
