Hey Scott, Just an idea but you could use the shutdown.exe tool in the Windows 2000 Resource Kit and call that from your batch file. Then you could create a second batch file and add that to the startup folder. If you want the second batch not to occur every time you reboot just add a line like "del c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\batchfile.bat" to the end. This making any sense ?!? :) Pat -----Original Message----- From: Van Singel, Scott [mailto:svansingel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, June 13, 2003 3:40 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] off the topic but, how do you reboot with a batch http://www.MSExchange.org/ Group, I would like to write a batch file to make a computer reboot and then finish the batch after it has rebooted. Does anyone have some ideas?
