I have a series of PC's on my Windows 2003 domain I would like to restart at
eveynight at midnight. Is there a way to configure a script that I can push
out to every machine to do this. These machines are running Windows XP
Embedded and don't have the task scheduler. I know that there is
shutdown.exe, but I don't know how to push out a script to use it. Any
sugesstions? Thanks for your help.
 
Use Task Scheduler to schedule shutdown.exe from Windows 2003 to restart
them.

I tried that, but how do you specify what PC's to reboot?

shutdown -r -f -m \\ComputerName

(where ComputerName is the NetBIOS name or IP address of the computer you
want to restart)
