You could probably create a scheduled task to run "shutdown /r".

This will restart the server.

Is there a logical reason why you are needing to reboot the TS server nightly?

Do you have user sessions that need to be shutdown if they incorrectly disconnect, etc or applications that need to be stopped?
It is common practice to periodically reboot terminal servers or Citrix servers.

I used to have a third party app that did it for me nightly when I ran a Citrix farm.

There may be user sessions open, so I'll try the force option.
What does the  { /c "Nightly forced reboot" } do?
Throws in a comment describing why it is rebooting.
That worked, thanks
