Re: [ActiveDir] OT: Bulk Workstation reboots.....

Here's a script I've used in the past to do what you want:  -- http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windows.server.active_directory/msg/3be4867f843df935     I wouldn't worry about the computer logons if you do this out of hours, e.g. run the script via a scheduled task or simply initiate at 2000 or whatever.  Those machines are going to be scattered all over the place and will use different DCs.     --Paul ----- Original Message ----- From: Frank Abagnale To: Active Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2006 3:14 PM 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?
