Need s simple way to restart client machines unattended daily
I am a newbie at Server 2003 R2, so please excuse this lame question. I have searched the knowledge base, but have not found the perfect answer.
I have 6 client machines connected to the Server 2003 R2 in a workgroup (yes, I know it should be a domain,but don't have the time now to do that)... What is the best way to cause each of those client machines to reboot at 1:00 a.m each day? I have looked at Schtasks, but not sure how to get all six of the machines to reboot, other than use 6 Schtask's.

no just make:
shutdown -r - t -f
-r = restar
-t = how long until restart...for example -t 30 = 30 seconds until restar
-f = force
The time when the pc shell execute the shutdown should u configure in your task manager!

I would concur with rmmarsh, for what that's worth. The solution's a combination.
