Windows Server 123 days uptime


This was the uptime of the Windows Server that hosts our TFS and a database server, it survived several reconfigurations of sharepoint and IIS during the 123 days, but I had to restart it yesterday. I hoped that a restart would fix a problem with sharepoint I was having, but it didn't help =(, it feels like I pointlesly slaughtered it for nothing, it's not everyday that I see such a stable windows installation.

C'mon give details of the problem :)

The server hosts the company's crm, as well as the TFS. And some 'genius' decided that it's a good idea to use it for testing the server part of another app as well. And the application he installed introduced a lot of bugs into the server, it took us 2 days to clear everything out.
The biggest problem came from the fact that the app was configured for anonymous(!!!) access to the SQL server, and sharepoint did not like that at all. All fixed now, and let's hope it will be another 4 months of up-time.

Can anyone recommend the top performing Remote Management system for a small IT service company like mine? Does anyone use Kaseya.com or GFI.com? How do they compare to these guys I found recently: [url=http://www.n-able.com] N-able N-central remote assistance
[/url] ? What is your best take in cost vs performance among those three? I need a good advice please... Thanks in advance!
