Scheduling a restart: Scheduled Tasks|Add Scheduled Task|Next|Browse for shutdown.exe (In XP it's in Windows\System32 folder)|Give it a name and schedule date|Next: Administrator password for the machine|Next: Open Advanced Properties. Here is a list of Shutdown Parameters: /l Shutdown the local computer (lowercase L) /r Restart the computer after shutting down /t:## Time you can set to wait before shutting down /y Force a yes response to all prompts on the remote computer /c Close all applications currently running on the remote computer "message" Define a message that will be displayed on the remote computer. Example of how it should look in the Run text box: "c:\windows\system32\shutdown.exe" \\machinename <file://\\machinename> /r /t30 "The server is about to restart" /y /c This line will shutdown a remote server after 30 seconds and then restart it. Hope this helps. Dan Daniel A. Crain Systems Administrator Dean, Ringers, Morgan & Lawton, P.A. 201 E.
