Rebooting Windows XP via Logon Script

Guest

Hi all

I have a requirement to to reboot an xp machine via logon (VBScript) after the script has done what it needs to do.

However I cannot (for love nor money) get the machine to accept a shutdown from the logon script. It simply simplt does not work. I have tried all flavours of shutdown (shutdown.exe, XP shutdown, WMI shutdown) and it will not have it. Run the same script once the user is logged on and it shutdown straight away.??

As the script deals with things such as offline folder syncs and such, the reboot needs to run before the shell starts, so it is not an option to schedule it or put the reboot in the startup folder

Run logon script synconously is enabled via GP

Any ideas at all

Thanks
Rob
