While that should have said every other month, that's how it is now. Internet Explorer gets patched every other month.

IE patches need to reboot the system. SBS 2003 with all of it's parts rarely has a patch month that doesn't demand a reboot.

If you want to reduce rebooting a system, run less stuff on it like Server Core.

You are rebooting once a month now on your SBS 2003 if you are patching. It's reality now.

"one really should look into Server core as the hyperV foundation but at 11 p.m. on a Friday night... I want full GUI."

That's funny!!! ;-)

"a manditory IE reboot once a month"

?!?!?! Are you kidding me? I guess not. I don't mess with pre-production software so I haven't tried my SBS 2008 yet but if you say its necessary, I believe you. I'll have to wait for my October Action Pack to arrive before I can really get into all of the 2008 goodness. Oh well, I've been waiting this long...
