setting up Daily automatic reboots?

[Guest]

Does anyone know of a good way to set Windows 2000
server to automatically reboot each night at a specified
time? There are several free tools that let you schedule
reboots but then you have to re schedule every time after
it executes. I just want to set it so every night at 3 AM
the system reboots and then once 2000 restarts the
schedule stays intact and just does it again until I say
do not reboot and change the schedule. Any ideas?
Bueler..Bueler. Thanks for your help and input!

There was a utility in the NT Resource Kit (from
Microsoft) called SHUTDOWN.EXE...there may be a resource
kit for 2000 - if not I suspect the NT version will
probably work with 2000. Download & install it, then go to
Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Scheduled Tasks
and schedule a task to run SHUTDOWN.EXE every day at the
same time.
Good Luck!
