=========
Now that you've started the other thread (with me supplying they essential
information that you omitted), you might as well stick to that other thread.
Who knows - maybe someone can think of a way to turn a shutdown into a
restart. I doubt it very much. If this was my show then I would play it
openly and keep my clients fully informed, perhaps like so:
1. Let them know that the conversion will take place tonight, and ask for
feedback.
2. Ask them to log off but NOT to shut down.
3. Use psloggedon.exe (from the same stable as psexec.exe) to ensure that
nobody is logged on.
4. Perform the conversion, allowing a reboot.
5. Check each event viewer remotely to ensure that the conversion has taken
place.
This takes more time but it prevents unpleasant surprises the next morning.
Some of your machines may not restart after the conversion and managers tend
to get cheesed off about system administrators who play with PCs after
hours, possibly wrecking them and preventing urgent work from being
completed on time. In most businesses, "Availability" is spelt with very
large letters when it comes to PCs.
