Guest Jon Osborn Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 I am cross posting this to microsoft.public.windows.server.general as well. Is their any way to put a delay that so that a Bat file will start about 15 minutes or so after boot up. May be in the bat file to do a count down or loop for so long before the rest of the Bat run? For some reason our DC (Win2003 R2 SP2) is dead for about 10 minutes after boot, no errors or anything, just not responsive to console or services (DHCP, DNS, etc ..) and it just works fine after about 10 minutes. The problem this causes is after a power outage our APC turns the server back op and a Wake-on-Lan BAT file runs and turns on all the other servers (10) but they have no DC authenticate against which casues issues (exchange, SQL, and other services do not start up). I currently have the bat starting with windows scheduled tasks to run at boot up. Thanks, Jon

Guest Don Wilwol Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 Re: Schedule a script to run 15 Minutes after boot up? use sleep.exe from the resource kit.
