Re: Restarting SBS 20003 via batch file

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

The info from Charlie gives you the batch file. The question I have is why
do you want to have scheduled restarts of your SBS? There really shouldn't
be any need for that.

I have written the following batch file to allow scheduled restarts of the
server:-
Shutdown /r /f
When I run the batch file it begins the shutdown process, and the desktop
darkens, but it hangs there. I can still manually then click on start /
shutdown / restart and complete the reboot, but I require the whole
process
to be automated.
Do I need to use the /t switch to set a timeout?

Thanks in advance.
