Use the Task Scheduler to invoke shutdown.exe (Win2000 Resource Kit).

We dont have the Win2000 Resource Kit, is there any other way this could be
done?

Try these folks tools (PSshutdown in particular)

Once or repeatedly? If you are only doing it once, you can use Remote
Desktop to connect and restart from there.

Cheers,

Hi,

You can download the Windows Server 2003 resource kit from Microsoft
which contains all the tools such as robocopy and shutdown.

Are you sure, Kris? You usually have to pay for the Resource Kits..

Cheers,

The Windows 2000 tools are here:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/tools/default.asp

Although it's not a "kit," per se, there are quite a few useful tools. Note
that the shutdown tool is NOT there

Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools includes the robocopy.exe Utility.
As for shutdown.exe, it is included in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003
operation system. You can just copy it from the system32 folder on another
computer.
