Re: Won't remote re-boot

I stopped Symantec Anti-Virus before rebooting. Nothing in the event log
and there was nothing helpfull in the Bugcheck.

That's what you need to troubleshoot--any details on the bugcheck?
Anything recorded in the system event log?

In addition to hardware drivers, both antivirus and antispyware software
may cause driver-related crashes.

Hi Pedro,
Thanks for your reply. I went onto the site and tried to restart on the
site and it came up with a blue screen Bugcheck. I have not installed
any new equipment or software for about 12 months so am unsure what the
cause is at the moment.

maybe there is some service that is not stopping properly and is
preventing the server from rebooting....

You may want to google for the registry key "waittokillservicetimeout"
that defines how much time the server waits for a service to terminate
properlly. After that time it will kill the service/process.

Also you ca try psshutdown from SysInternals (part of the PsTools
suite). It's freeware and can be found at www.sysinternals.com . It is a
great remote shutdown tool because it allows you to (brute) force a
shutdown if you can't get a normal, friendly shutdown to work.

Hi,
Has anyone got any ideas why the SBS2000 won't remote re-boot as this
becomes a hassle after installing MS patches remotely.
