I would like to know the best way to force my WinNT 4.0 servers to reboot automatically, weekly if possible? Is there a batch file I can use? Any assistance will be appreciated!

Thanks,
Kurt G.

You need to get shutdown.exe from NT Resource Kit. The command should look something like that:
at 1:00 /every:su c:\Shutdown /y /r.
Make sure you copy shutdown.exe to a directory you specified in command.

If you don't mind spending a little, check out http://www.barefootinc.com/
they have a product called autoshutdown that I have used it for a little over a year. I has many options including the hability to shutdown remote computers, run files before or after shutdown command, logon back after reboot, etc...
The price is right!

Good luck!
