rebooting

[pcdudekc]

I am looking for a way to make pc's reboot at a certain time,is a mixed mode enviorment with 2000pro and XP machines. Is there a group policy for this.

I use Psshutdown to remotly reboot my stations, you can script it to reboot multiple PC's at the same time.

You can also use Shutdown.exe

There's no standard Group Policy for this.

Another vote for PSShutdown. We use it to reboot 6 Terminal Servers on a weekly schedule.

shutdown.exe is part of the Server Resource Kit. You can use the scheduled tasks to run shutdown -r to reboot a machine. It's also handy if you need to reboot a remote machine.
