One way would be to use the AT command as a Group Policy "startup" machine
configuration script for computers in that OU, though that will cause all
computers in the OU to reboot in which case you may want to create a
separate OU for these computers, possibly a child OU. You could use it to
schedule the shutdown -r command. If you are having problem with the AT
command try using the /interactive switch. The link below is a good tutor on
the AT command. You may want to create a batch file with the AT command to
first remove existing AT jobs. --- Steve
