On a periodic basis, perform the following routine tasks on the servers:
- Periodically reboot the application server.
- Defragment the server disk drives to improve daily performance.
- Periodically change the administrator password on all servers.
- Review the following log files:
Microsoft Windows Event Viewer (on all servers)
[Install Location]\Collaboration\log\CollabConsole.txt (on the application server; logs all activity, including errors, deleted users, server property changes, and logging levels)
[Install Location]\[applicationdirectory]\logs\ServerErrors.xml (on the application server; logs Glossary activities)
- Periodically install Microsoft Windows hotfixes and patches. Execute Windows Updates manually on the database server and search server as automatic updates may reboot servers periodically. This practice minimizes the chance of the server rebooting while the application is running.
