In an ideal world, where all applications are 100% TS-compatible
and the OS is 100% bug-free, this shouldn't be necessary.
In practice, most systems need a regular reboot.

We started with a scheduled reboot every night and have since
gradually changed the frequency of the reboots. Now we reboot once
every week and experience no problems during the week. These are
also heavily loaded TS. I intend to stay on this reboot schedule.

So my advice is: if you are experiencing problems, start with
frequent reboots.
If you don't have any problems at all, I wouldn't schedule any
reboots, but monitor memory usage on a regular basis.
