i agree

I agree with Perderabo....it is all based on requirement of course.

If the need is there, then it has to be done, but 4 months - 6 months is a decent average time frame. However I have noticed that most reboots are done because patches need to go on or more external disk needs to be configured.

I know for sure in certain financial firms, they reboot boxes every week....over 10,000 a week. so it really is dependent on environment.
