I've been trying to fine out infomation on how to configure my windows nt4 server to automatically reboot at midnight each night. I have been unable to find this information out. Can someone explain the steps to do this.

Thanks
 
You can create a batch file to shutdown the server using the NT4 reskit utility SHUTDOWN.EXE. From there you can schedule it to run using the Scheduled Tasks applet
 
After you get the file put it in c:\winnt\system32
then type this command line to reboot at 12 Midnight:

C:>at 24:00 /interactive /every:M,T,W,Th,F,S,Su c:\shutdown.exe -s reboot -l 00

Good luck!!
