Use the native windows 2003 command
Shutdown /r /t 10 /m \\computer /c "Rebooting Server" /f /d p:4:1
Used Control Panel -> Schedule Tasks to schedule.
Use local administator account in the schedule task.- Proposed As Answer byGunner999 Friday, November 06, 2009 3:22 AM

- thanks Gunner99 for the reply.I used Schedule Tasks and choouse the file shutdown.exe under system32 folder with switch -r.
The system restart with it but the question I want to ask that if the system is lock then in that case it is batter to use -I (Logg off) switch with shutdown.exe or -r has the ability to logg off and restart/shutdown the system?
C:\Windows\system32\shutdown.exe -s
what is your opinion about it?
Inshort my question is
1-1st log off the system (If it is lock) and then restart/shutdown ? - the restart switch will automatically log users off all users and shutdown the system.
The logoff option will only log off the current user, since this is being ran as a scheduled task it is of no benefit.
