Do you want to shutdwon or reboot? I would use Windows Scheduler and the shudown.exe command. Something like 'shutdown -r -f' to force reboot immediately. Might want to set up a 'net send * "The server is being rebooted in X minutes. Please save your work and log off."' to go out every 5 minutes or so starting 15 minutes before the reboot. Just in case.

Good day,

1st you may need to use a notepad to create a batch file say "shutdown.bat" in your C: In the batch file, you include this script line "%windir%\system32\shutdown.exe -s -t 0".
Then, you create and activate the windows scheduler to execute the shutdown.bat file at 10pm daily.
Now, you wish is come true! God bless....
