I'm guessing that you removed the monitor, keyboard and mouse, disabled terminal services, removed it from the domain, unbound NetBIOS from TCP/IP and shut down all of the non-required services (especially "Server") - and - put a penguin sticker on the front of it, so that people thought it was a scary leenucks box.
bonus points if it no longer resolves via DNS.
BDBAFH.
seriously though, we had a 7.3.4.4.1 db running on WinNT Server 4.0 at a client site whereby the OS had an uptime of over 2 years. guess that they just didn't beat on it much. uptimes of 6 months was not unusual.

Yep. You read it right. I'm not giving out our secrets though.

This is a small, static, but fiercely loyal group of VMS users for HP to
milk. OpenVMS is money in the bank for HP, as it was for Compaq and
DEC. Even the bean-counters understand the insanity of shutting off a
guaranteed, endless, and highly-profitable revenue stream upon which
they do not have to expend any marketing or sales resources...
Officially, they currently promise OpenVMS support through 2012 or
thereabouts, I believe.
In Colorado Springs (at the DEC-then-Compaq-then-HP hosting center),
there is a VMS cluster hosting an Rdb-based application th!
at has
been
continuously available for the past 11-12 years. Zero downtime for the
application. Absolutely stunning.
