How to configure a reboot at a specific time each day in Win 2000

I have extracted the shutdown.exe from the resource kit, created a folder in
the root of C (restart) and put the shutdown.exe in it along with a batch
file called restart.bat.In the file /L /Y /R /t:05. Then I configured a
scheduled task to run the shutdown.exe and this where I get foggy on what to
do! How do you set up permission's so that the task will run for every one no
matter who is logged in and what should be in the " run in" dialog box?
It seems to be buggy ...... I can execute the batch file, not sure how many
times 5 to 10 and then the file doesn't work any more .......... then while
tiring to figure out what happened it started to work.
My current condition is that the batch file works but the scheduled task
does not. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Jim
 
Yes, executing the batch is correct. Use any account that has local
administrative rights. Scheduled Tasks|Advanced|View Log may provide some
details.
