With respect to NT stability, frankly I wonder what I am doing wrong. I
continually read posts here and elswhere complaining about NT stability but
my servers and workstations are rock solid. One server has crashed once in
three years and that was during a Netscape install. Several times I have had
hard drives die that were part of the C: drive mirror (what, doesn't
everybody mirror the C drive on their server?) and the machine kept right on
running. Aside from some minor pre-sp2 problems with exchange which caused
exchange to crash but not NT, I would put our systems stability up against
any os and machine. I have NT workstations in student access labs that
routinely go a month or more before being turned off or rebooted (almost
always for no reason). Am I just lucky?
