MIS
Create a .cmd file called reboot.cmd
<---Begin of file
@shutdown /r /t 2 /f /c "Message recorded in Event"
<---End of file
place file into the \winnt or \windows directory
then from Control Panel->Scheduled Tasks
Setup a schedule to execute the batch file
the /r means shutdown and Restart
the /t # means how long to wait in seconds
the /f means force any running apps to close
the /c "*%#$%" means the comment to place in Event Log
not including the /c will cause a dialog to appere after restart waiting for you to tell the server why the system rebooted. You can turn this off however placing the comment in the event log is a good idea.
