i've found the same thing to be true of our win2k boxes at work.  we've got
servers that have been up for months.  oh sure, services may be restarted
occasionally, but the server itself has stayed up the entire time.  the only
time they do come down is to install new software that requires a reboot.

<tip type="windows server administration">

wanna know how long your win nt/2k system has been up?  download a utility
called uptime.exe from microsoft.

p

it's a command-line utility and gives you all kinds of information about
local or remote machines.

enjoy,
