Paul,

 

These 900 workstations are not scattered all over the place. They are placed over 4 locations

 

This site has 3 DC's, which are all W2k3 R2 GC enabled.

 

Any impact problems to be aware of?

 

but thanks for the script!

 

Frank

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.

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
