I've always thought having a reboot schedule on terminal servers was a good idea

Does anyone else agree, and/or does anyone have any recommendations from MS for doing so

Thanks
 
No recommendations from MS - however I am responsible for a number of TS farms, and schedule a daily reboot / and automatic windows update install on each TS server in the farm - they are scheduled 30 minutes apart for each node.

I was constantly having issues with the Terminal Servers prior to this. Just think 20-30 users each day opening PDF's, accessing FLASH files etc - all the usual Desktop PC uses.

I tend to go with a similar principal as to how often you would reboot a desktop PC - especially once used by 30+ users

We do rolling weekly reboots on our farms, a handful of servers each night Sunday through Thursday. This stopped 99% of our problems so never looked to reboot any more than that. We are running a single remote app, not a full desktop session though.
 
We reboot our xen app server every night at 2am at one site and another site we don't. I am not sure how much it helps. But we rarely have problems with either one.

I tend to reboot servers when i get the chance in a maintenance window. But not on schedule.
 
I'm so pleased everyone seems to be under the same thoughts on reboots.

The reason I ask is that my manager is dead against it. He thinks TS servers should never be rebooted. The problem is, without something printed on a website like technet, he won't listen.
