Is there a way to schedule a Win 2k server to reboot? I was able to schedule a Win 2k Professonal pc to reboot using a bat that was Shutdown /R. However, 'shutdown' is not a recognized command in Win 2K Server.
Any ideas?

Thanks,
 
Shutdown.exe is a file that is installed when you install the Server Resource Kit. It will work in Win2k also. There are other methods of scheduling a reboot as well. Greg Armstrong

Greg, what are some other methods?

I am using the shutdown /r method, but the box doesn't come up cleanly sometimes....
