Re: Remote reboot/restarting Win2K3SP1

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



A couple of ways. One is to have a remote management card installed in
the machine. These have a mini operating system onboard and a network
cord plugged directly into them, so you can tell it to do a hard reset
of the power remotely. I believe they cost $500+.

Another option is if your UPS can be managed remotely. Some UPS
support an ethernet connection that you can manage through your
browser. You could therefore force a hard restart through
cutting/restoring power to the server.

Other than that, you may be out of luck. If the OS is hung, you need
something external to the OS to force a reboot.
