I could seen an issue if someone has something running like
an access DB which could result in corruption / data loss or long running
script, etc and then they would be pissed. From a purely technical standpoint I
don't see a problem.
You could also write something to check the uptime of the
machines and send out an email and ask people to reboot and anyone who doesn't
reboot in x days gets rebooted.

Subject: [ActiveDir] OT: Bulk Workstation reboots.....
I have a startup script which inputs a variable on every
XP workstation.
This variable is going to change and I need the workstations to be rebooted
to reflect the change.
I have around 900 workstations, I was thinking of using the shutdown.exe
tool with the remote name in a batch file.
I was planning on doing through during the night, does anyone see any
issues/impact if I set 900 machines to reboot automatically? Does anyone else
have a better idea?
Thanks
Frank
