I want to know how can I schedule auto reboot of windows 2000 server from
shceduled task. Is there any command or script? I did research and I found
shutdown.exe /r but that does not work and it requires user intervention. I
want to schedule and do this reboot automatically.

What happens when you try? Also try;

shutdown.exe /r /f

Hello Andy,

You can run this as a startup script, creates a scheduled task and copies
the shutdown.exe to a workstation:

;Create the scheduled task on remote workstation's
if not exist c:\winnt\tasks\at1.job at 05:00 /every:m,t,w,th,f,s,su shutdown.exe
/r /t 120 /c "This computer will shutdown and restart automatically, please
close your open applications. Your Administrator." /f

:Copy the shutdown.exe to remote workstation
if not exist c:\WINNT\system32\shutdown.exe copy "\\domainname\netlogon\shutdown.exe"
"c:\WINNT\system32\shutdown.exe"

Or use just from the run line:

at 05:00 /every:m,t,w,th,f,s,su shutdown.exe /r /t 120 /c "This computer
will shutdown and restart automatically, please close your open applications.
Your Administrator." /f

Then you should find a scheduled task that runs daily at 5 AM with a timer
of 120 seconds and prompts an info.

Best regards
