Remove all of the applications, don't allow anyone to log into it, disconnect it from the network and purchase hardware that can be fixed while the system is still running.
If you rely on your server to do work, then the best you can do is: keep your file systems clean, monitor the system either manually or with a operations monitoring suite, put security software (virus checkers and the like) on you system and in your network, protect the power supply and cooling and make everything in the environment redundant (power, A/C, network, servers) so if something does fail, you have a backup. Finally, write or buy software that has no bugs, because after everything is redundant, the software can still do something stupid.

As a former Network Admin, I can tell you there is no way you can guarantee a server will NEVER go down. Running on Linux as several have suggested will certainly make it more reliable though.

Ice..Water?!?! except you have a water cooling device , in case you maintain on with water , say bye bye on your computer. shop airborne dirt and dust loose with a "airborne dirt and dust blower" , and get some element/spot followers from ultimate purchase. consistently floor your self with an anti static wristband till now working in a working laptop or computer. the reason a working laptop or computer runs slightly extra effective while it incredibly is cool is as a results of the fact as a motherboard heats up , present day ones will shrink power to maintain warmth at a secure point. good luck -Joe

maintain it's performance and the rest of the stuff like do some scans and stuff like that and try accessing all locations connected to that local server(if it is LAN) once weekly to check they are all conncected and working properly. if you get problem just call me and i can deal with any network problem.

Depends on how you are breaking it.
Clean out all of the spyware.
Run an antivirus.
Delete what you dont need.
Keep it all up to date.
Backup......
There is no one thing you can do to protect yourself. You need to stay on top of it to keep it running great !

get a second server for redundency. set one to be the primary and one to be the backup. there is no absolute solution.. you can get 99.99% up-time though
