Scheduled Server Restarts

[jshepherd]

I am looking for the best way to schedule a restart of W2K servers at a specific time over night.

I assume I can use the Windows Scheduler feature but I don't the command or file that will restart the OS.

If you want to reboot the server W2k thus it can restart, you can use if you use TS, the command line :
"tsshutdn 10 /reboot /server:[server_name_NetBios]"
or "tsshutdn 10 /reboot /server:[IP adress]"
your server will rebbot in 10 seconds.
put this command line in a script ".bat"
and schedule it with the at command
at 00:00 /every:m [name_of_the_script]
and your server will reboot every mondays at 00:00
Hope this help you.
