This is probably very simple. But for the life of me, I am unable to find the solution. I have been doing some research on the net and come up empty. Here is my problem.
I have a batch file which will execute normally when run manually. However, I need to run this batch file when scheduled. I have several scheduled tasks which are executing normally. They are doing a simple xcopy of files from one location to another. The problem is that the one batch file is calling an exe (executable) file. What I want to do is to do a scheduled re-boot of the Windows 2000 server. The batch file will work manually, but not when scheduled. The current file is a one liner.
cmd.exe /k "C:\reboot.exe"
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
