How do you use shutdown.exe on a Windows 2000 Server to
schedule regular reboots of multiple workstations in a
workgroup?
 
With shutdown.exe you can reboot a remote machine as long as you have the
appropriate permissions (usually admin rights). Simply use Task Scheduler
with a batch file.
 
Easiest way:

myshutdown.bat
shutdown.exe \\computer1 /R
shutdown.exe \\computer2 /R
shutdown.exe \\computer3 /R
etc

You may also want to use the /C switch to force any open applications to
close.
