Scheduled Reboot of server?

Dr Zoidberg.

If I wanted to schedule a server to reboot during the middle of the night
(for example after installing some software that needs a reboot) what would
be the bst way of doing this?

Is there a command you can stick in a batch file that you could run at a set
time?

Shutdown.exe (from the Resource Kit) or PsShutdown.exe from
[www.sysinternals.com].

This line will shutdown the server at 23:00 every night of the week. Replace
<servername> with the name of your server, if you don't specify <servername>
it will shutdown the local computer.

at \\<servername> 23:00 /every:m,t,w,th,f,s,su shutdown /r

And a bit more feedback to let you (and others) know that it worked just
fine.
The two servers rebooted and restarted on schedule saving me from having to
come in early or work late.
