What command would I use in a shutdown.bat file that would shutdown and
restart the SBS server? I've currently setup a scheduled task to call the
shutdown.bat file with the code "shutdown /r" (no quotes), but it's not
working. It just repeats that code over and over and over in the command
prompt, but with no results.
