Create a scheduled task for the time you want the server restarted...point it to a batch file containing the line:

"shutdown -r -f -c "Saturday morning restart" (This will log the shutdown in Event Viewer with the description in quotes).

Good question! the "-r" switch specifies RESTART.

Might want to test it at a time that you can easily access the server physically to turn it back on, if you're worried.

"shutdown -?" at the command line will give you all of the associated options.
