Most of my clients are still running NT 4.0 servers. I just retired a Windows NT 3.51 system that had an uptime of over 500 days (now we have their new server on a 60 day reboot schedule due to application memory leaks).
Staffing differences??? 5-7 servers per admin? Jesus your company needs to hire some new staff. I used to manage 50 *CRITICAL* Windows 2000 servers that were running my companies factories SQL servers. Not to mention that I was responsible for a 12 server Citrix/Terminal Services farm, the companies SAN, antivirus on all servers (Trend and Symantec), and all of the other day to day tasks that comes with being an admin on any system.
The last project that I worked on was creating a global standard image and administration tool set to install on my companies (planned) 10,000 plus Windows 2000 servers around globe. Just as I was leaving the company they were managing around 100 Windows 2000 server per admin excluding Exchange which is a beast of an application.
