I know this is probably very easy, but can someone tell me how to schedule an automatic reboot of the server for, say, every Sunday afternoon (when we're closed)?

Thanks.

Okay this is what is in the log:

5.2.3790.1830 (srv03_sp1_rtm.050324-1447)
"reboot.job" (reboot.cmd)
Started 11/22/2005 8:00:00 AM
"reboot.job: (reboot.cmd)
Finished 11/22/2005 8:00:00 AM
Result: The task completed with an exit code of (4f7)

The task was scheduled as the administrator which is also the default of the server.

Okay, last night I removed the tick to password protect the screensaver. Then I checked this morning at 9:00 and the server HAD rebooted at 8:00 this morning so the problem is definitely that I had the password protected screensaver ticked ON previously which locks the pc when the screensaver becomes active. However, this was supposed to be fixed with SP1 I thought:

You can also look for System Log Event ID 1074 from Source USER32. This indicates that somebody(something) initiated a system shutdown.
