This is what we use to shutdown our Windows Server 2003 servers, we had a
simular issue with several of our servers.
The problem we had was when someone was logged on to the console, on another
server the problem was disconnected RDP sessions.
If you have multiple sessions logged on to a server just add more sessions
to the logoff part of the script.
Logoff [session id]
Just schedule a batch file with this whenever you need the restart, you also
need something to let the server wait to let the session logging off to
logoff.
The echo | command is used if there are any questions aksed, it just presses
"enter" and continues.
You can also use echo |y command or echo |n or anything you need to respond
to anything inside a batch script.

echo | logoff
timeout 2
echo | logoff 1

echo | logoff 2
timeout 2
echo | logoff 3

shutdown /r /f /c "restart" /t 15 /m \\SERVERNAME /d p:4:1

Good luck,
