You should be able to reestart a pc using <br />
<br />
shutdown -f -r \\machinename -t 10<br />
<br />
-t 10 is a timeout of 10 seconds<br />
-f forces running apps to quit - user could loose work :) PRobably serves them right though<br />
<br />
Does this work for you?<br />

run shutdown /i<br />

that will give you a GUI and allow you to force closed applications on the way down<br />
<br />

forcing a client to reboot from the server on 2003 sbs?

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
