otter77, do you mind to give steps and sample?<br />
<br />
As how can we place that in Windows &nbsp;task scheduler so that even no user are logged in, it also will run the restart? <br />
<br />
Please advice.<br />

Not sure why it's a bad idea to do with an Exchange box - it will shutdown fine. You can append -t 1 to that shutdown command to make it wait 1 second prior to initiating the shutdown rather than 30.<br />
<br />
Specify NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM as the username and no password and you won't need to provision an account for the job to run.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
