windows 2000 server auto restart

[Guest ANDY]

I want to know how can I schedule auto reboot of windows 2000 server from

shceduled task. Is there any command or script? I did research and I found

shutdown.exe /r but that does not work and it requires user intervention. I

want to schedule and do this reboot automatically.

What happens when you try? Also try;

 

shutdown.exe /r /f

Hello Andy,

 

You can run this as a startup script, creates a scheduled task and copies

the shutdown.exe to a workstation:

 

;Create the scheduled task on remote workstation's

if not exist c:\winnt\tasks\at1.job at 05:00 /every:m,t,w,th,f,s,su shutdown.exe

/r /t 120 /c "This computer will shutdown and restart automatically, please

close your open applications. Your Administrator." /f

 

:Copy the shutdown.exe to remote workstation

if not exist c:\WINNT\system32\shutdown.exe copy "\\domainname\netlogon\shutdown.exe"

"c:\WINNT\system32\shutdown.exe"

 

Or use just from the run line:

 

at 05:00 /every:m,t,w,th,f,s,su shutdown.exe /r /t 120 /c "This computer

will shutdown and restart automatically, please close your open applications.

Your Administrator." /f

 

Then you should find a scheduled task that runs daily at 5 AM with a timer

of 120 seconds and prompts an info.
