I would like to get my NT server to reboot themselves every Monday at like 5:00 am. I know I can use Shutdown.exe from the resource kit. But, I need to know the correct syntax and where I put this text (into a logon script or batch file)? I thinkit's something like:
at 5:00 /every:su c:\winnt\shutdown.exe /y /r

Please help!

Thanks,
Kurt G.

Use WinAT to schedule it (it is in the resource kit). Make sure your scheduler service runs at boot (I think by default it is set to manual). The syntax to shutdown should be c:\winnt\shutdown.exe /L /Y /R.

First make sure the Schedule service is running at the server. Then use WinAT if you have it, so you don't have to worry about syntax so much. (The syntax you have is just about right. If you want to do it at a command prompt, just type "at 5:00 /every:Mon c:\winnt\shutdown.exe /l /y /r" and it will run until you stop it.)
