And I'll say the same thing I tell everyone who says this - get those NT servers installed PROPERLY. I've got three in my basement running on what could be generously described as obsolete workstations that, would it not be for our occasional extended power outages, would have uptimes now approaching 2 years with no reboots. I have clients like that, too. Netware stopped being that reliable after they dropped 3.12. That was the last version you could really shove a server in a dark closet and forget about it for 10 years. I'll give you that you have to stay on top of patches, but by doing so I was able to laugh as I composed cease and desist emails to the site admins of the three users who attempted to Code Red my IIS server - at the time of the Code Red worm, the patch that could defeat it had been out for nearly a year.

>Hey I was sold a couple years ago when we switched to NT and 2000 on a lot of the systems and all of a sudden I was managing the servers all day and night. I had Novell servers that ran with no downtime for 6 years straight! No hacks, no security holes, and now with NT and 2000 it is a daily panic... There is something inherently wrong with a network OS that is 'open' by default out of the box instead of the reverse like Novell. Oh well, no one wants to hear that though... :o)
