Hmm even this isn't a real argument for rebooting the server. M$ has a
nice tool provided
In the resource kit, named tlist.exe, you can easyly list all your
processes via commandline
And then simply kill the nsclient.exe.  
I mean, ok when you don't have custoumers, who are trying to kill you
each time you boot your server...go on and reboot frequently :)
