Re: Schedule automatic system restart

Do you mean the shutdown event tracker pops up and asks for information?
I ususally turn off the shutdown event tracker on my SBS servers through a GPO or local policy.
I never have pop ups for scheduled reboots after that.

Hi everyone,
I've searched microsoft.com as well as different search engines and based off what I'm doing, the only thing I can seem to find is a 3rd party program. I've been making sure to keep any non microsoft products off of the server and only on workstations with the exception of one server based program that is used to run production software. This same production software causes issues with the network where the softwares licenses get full if a computer loses a dhcp lease, locks up, or shuts down without closing out the program first. Therefore, we've implemented a server reboot at lunch time when there is nobody in the office. My question is this... I have a reboot batch file using shutdown.exe followed by different paramaters for the restart such as forcing programs to close, not warning users of the action and the reason code for the restart being planned Application maintanence. Running this batch file whether scheduled or manually run, a box pops up asking for the same information. It seems as if SBS (or Server 2003 in general) will not allow a scheduled restart to take place. If anyone knows of a fix for this or perhaps that I have the command line entered incorrectly to allow this, please let me know.

My batch file is as follows:
shutdown.exe /i /r /d p:4:1

Thank you,
-kenkcj
