Schedule Auto Re-Boot of Windows Server 2008 R2

Question

Is there any specific command or script through which I can schedule an Auto reboot of Windows Server 2008 R2?

Answer 1

Possibly the shutdown command from a Command Prompt?

shutdown -r -f -t 10

Where:

• -r restarts
• -f forces processes to terminate
• -t 10 waits 10 seconds before shutdown

The way I would do this is by scheduling a batch file with the above line in it, although you will probably be able to do this through PowerShell too.

Answer 2
