In days gone by I have had to set up reboot schedules to “refresh” resources on Windows servers. Some companies have a policy on this and some do not. I am contracting for a college that is a 24×7 shop and rebooting servers only happens during planned or emergency maintenance. Is there a definitive answer (white paper) that discusses the need to reboot Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 servers? Has the need to reboot servers to reclaim memory resources become a thing of the past? The “opinion” of one of my co workers is that it is no longer necessary to do this practice. I am not finding anything by searching on this at Google…. Any feedback would be appreciated.
