onyone know of a way to schedule my server to reboot by it
self? I know you might ask why but with exchange it slows
things down and I like it after a reboot it is nice and
fast. Anyone know how through sheduler or something to do
this?
 
Hi Steven,
You could create a scheduled task with Task Scheduler, which in turn runs a
batch file calling Shutdown.exe (a Windows 2000 Resource Kit utility).

To have shutdown.exe restart the machine rather than just shut it down, run
it with the /r switch ("shutdown.exe /r"). Shutdown.exe will give a timer (I
think it's 30 seconds) when it's preparing to shut down or restart the
machine.
