I recently came across this -
Windows 2000 Professional needs to be rebooted in only 7 scenarios -
[NT 4 had 50]
1. Changing ISA adapter configuration
2. Changing the system font (the USER and Graphics Device Interface
have to be 3. recreated)
4. Adding and removing communication ports (due to possible jumper
changes)
5. Changing the default system locale
6. Changing the computer/domain name
7. Installing service packs or hotfixes
2000 Server adds these additional scenarios -
1. Running DCPROMO - ie converting a server to a Domain Controller
2. Changing DNS suffix name
3. Switch language in Multilanguage edition
4. Installing Terminal Services
5. After installing Terminal Services most things require a reboot
6. Remove Gateway Services for Netware
7. Change DNS server's IP address
