Windows 2000 auto reboot?
I would like my w2k professional boxes to auto reboot and 3AM every morning. How can I configure them to do that?
You can download it from ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/reskit/win2000.

He, DeTavio...
I'm in agreement with Steinmto's first comment; you can use restart.vbs/r to reboot your system as needed.
Once you have d/loaded this file from the provided link above, you'll need to set up a scheduled task to have it run at 3am, using the scheduled tasks wizard (start> programs> accessories> system_tools> scheduled_tasks).
Points to Steinmto when tested.
