How to schedule weekly reboot

How do I schedule a weekly reboot of my Win2K8 Standard server?

Thanks!

Using the task scheduler to run the shutdown.exe command.

The bigger question then becomes why would you want to reboot your server once a week?

I would probably think that a monthly reboot would be more "Normal" in most situations...

After the Tuesday updates comes to mind.

Not all updates require a reboot.

Plan for performance, and capacity takes care of itself. Plan for capacity, and suffer poor performance.

Whilst they don't require a reboot they can and do cause spurious issues occasionally (had it myself quite a few times).
