RE: nt reboot
I need some assistance with setting up a task to reboot our NT servers once each day. Our internal NT admin/Network Support stinks and if they do not know how to do something they say it can't be done. Use the Task Scheduler and the SHUTDOWN.EXE command-line tool from the NT Resource Kit. Write a batch file which calls SHUTDOWN.EXE, and schedule the batch file with the Task Scheduler. After you've done that, spend some quality time with your server to figure out why on earth you'd have to reboot it once a day. You shouldn't have to do this, and is an indicator of a potentially serious problem.

RE: nt reboot
As Dave said, "spend some quality time with your server to figure out why on earth you'd have to reboot it once a day." It's most likely not the OS kernel that's causing problems but, some process running on top of that. If it's hosting any sort of application, such as a home brewed CGI app written in C, Cold Fusion, or some RDBMS, it may be that the problem stems from the application. Process level debugging under NT isn't the easiest but, it's definitely not impossible either. Once you've narrowed down the possibilities you can just restart the process(es) that are at fault, not the whole server. If it's an application that you can rewrite then that is the best remedy.

Re: nt reboot
Reboot? I've got CF running, IIS , Exchange, MTS, SQL 7, ASP stuff going on, Index Server, all sorts of crap I never reboot unless it's a service pack on the weekend or something and then it's a hassle with users. Why would you want to reboot? Perhaps your a closet Blue Screen Queen...
