We have gone to a new antivirus product and some of our domain computers are drastically slower first thing in the morning. &nbsp;The scans run automatically every night. &nbsp;Rebooting seems to cure the issue. &nbsp;Can someone help with instructions on how to create and implement, or add to the existing GPO, an object to reboot the computers automatically every night after virus scans finish? &nbsp;If there is an easier way than a GPO, I am open to suggestions.
