you can use the shutdown command in the following manner;

shutdown \\machinename /r (for reboot)<amt of time in secs before shutdown>. Ex) shutdown \\machine /r 10

shutdown option doesn't work, please see below:

C:\>shutdown -r -t 10
'shutdown' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

We use this all the time. Puts a file psshutdown.exe into the Windows directory. Create a batch file to run the executable with any switches you wish, the create a scheduled task to run the batch file.

I prefer to use WMI. Save the following code to a text file and give it an extension of .VBS. Double click to run. You can enter the machine name or IP.

'Reboot Workstation Script
'By Mark MacLachlan
'Creation Date 9/18/2002
'Modification 10/7/2002 Added support for confirmation box
'Usage- Double click and enter a machine name or IP address to reboot machine


On Error Resume Next
mname = InputBox("Enter Machine Name", "Reboot Machine")
If Len(mname) = 0 Then Wscript.Quit

if Msgbox("Are you sure you want to reboot machine " & mname, vbYesNo, "Reboot Machine") = vbYes then

		Set OpSysSet = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate,(RemoteShutdown)}//" & mname).ExecQuery("select * from Win32_OperatingSystem where Primary=true")
		for each OpSys in OpSysSet
			OpSys.Reboot()
 		next
end if

I hope you find this post helpful.

Regards,

Mark

shutdown.exe is part of the Windws 2000 Resource Kit, which most administrators would suggest be installed on any Win 2000 server.
