That's an ouch. Never had anything go that long.

Trust me. Had an issue that happened with a few clients where if a server was configured in a certain way, after about a week or so, a server would go offline due to resource exhaustion. There were two fixes. First was a reboot (which you can't keep doing weekly in a production environment). The second fix was to disable some settings. Unfortunately MS's patches would randomly re-enable some of those settings (there was no rhyme or reason as to when it would happen, it's just it would be part of the patch). The worse part was that it wouldn't always show up in the non-prod environments but randomly in production. Come to think of it, I don't think the issue was ever properly resolved... and this goes back to 2010 or so...
