I don's see a BSOD that often, but we have to reboot our production w2000K
servers quite often (1/week) so that they don't reboot themselves on their
own schedule. Yes, I have two production systems running W2K and if I don't
have a weekly reboot (planned) then they will reboot the following week or
they become so unusable that you can't log onto them and have to power down
the machine physically.
