Well, that explains it!

>>Ok, I have to jump in here and contradict you Evan. NT 4.0 was a VERY problematic OS for a server and NT3.51 was even worse. In fact, I went through the entire MCSE for NT 4.0 and W2k training twice (paid for by my employer :o) and the general rule of thumb and practice out there was to reboot the server to fix errors on a regular basis-this was even admitted by the separate CERTIFIED training facilities. Yet I had Novell servers running for 6 years without EVER having to reboot once. Hard to imagine, but true.

>Microsoft NEVER tested NT by leaving the server running for an extended period of time. They would go home at night and turn off the server. I was told this by a Program Manager in the Win2K group. This changed with Win2K. Stability was the number one goal (even if it compromised comptability) and servers ran for months without rebooting.
