If you are using FR1 then you should be able to schedule it off the server settings (Individual servers) from within the CMC. Dead easy done through the GUI so messing around with switches and cmd scripts

 

[CitrixEngineer]

If not, you can use the regular AT command from the command line (you'll need to have the scheduling service enabled!). CitrixEngineer@yahoo.co.uk

I use the AT command to do this on weekdays

at hh:mm /every:M,T,W,Th,F c:\winnt\system32\tsshutdn.exe /reboot

change hh:mm as necessary

The feature is available in the CMC... IF you have XPa or XPe, AND the "Resource Manager" option installed. (I think XPa is the minimum version required...)

Or you could do it using the AT command.

I've got a batch file that I copied from this forum that logs off your users, stops the spooler services, deletes any print jobs that are hung and reboots the server.

Let me know if you need it and I will post it on the site.
Just reply to this post and let me know if you want it.

Later.

Download WINAT. IS is a graphical form of the AT command. Works great.
