i used this in xp along with the scheduler to reboot my server machine at 0600 every sunday: shutdown -r -t 60 -c "Rebooting in 1 minute" -f

i switched the os to 2k since i feel it has less overhead, but it is not working in win2k pro, why and how can i fix it to work with 2k?

What is the nature of your problem? Is there an error message that corresponds to your problem or is it simply not restarting?

i thought that w2k didn't have the shutdown command built in, though it may be in the valueadd section of the install cd. if you can't find it, go to www.sysinternals.com and use psshutdown that you can download there. it has many of the same options.

just does nothing, quick black screen, found one of the shutdown utilities and all is good, thanks for the responses :)
