Have you considered merely restarting SQL and the DTC service rather than a
full reboot?

It's always the applications that cause the most problems. The boxes I have
with just services (file/print, exchange, wins, dns, etc) seem the most
reliable. put a 3rd party app on there, reboot time. (or at least
stop/restart service).

I see that you've already been asked "WHY", although there's been no
response...
Personally, I take it as a personal affront if a box won't remain up
for at least a solid quarter.

Best bet is to use shutdown.exe (from the resource kit) and the AT command.
To have the machine shut down every weekday at 10:00PM, you would type this
at the command prompt:
AT 10:00PM /every: M,T,W,TH,F c:\Winnt\shutdown.exe /L /R /T:10 /C /Y
This command tells the machine to run shutdown.exe
Under W2K I used task scheduler to run the shutdown command from the NT4
resource kit.
Under NT4 I copied the AT command from my old 3.51 box and used that to
schedule the same SHUTDOWN command

Using the shutdown.exe command from the resource kit.
You can schedule the job using AT.
e.g. at 22:00 /every:M,Tu,W,Th,F shutdown /l/r/y/c

Add the remote reboot from the resource kit to scheduled tasks of a remote
computer. Alternatively if you don't have a remote computer, load NTRK on
the NT Server and do a remote reboot to the same server. Then add to
scheduled tasks.

You can create a batch file that is scheduled to run every night at 10.
If you want to reboot a remote computer..
shutdown \\server /r /c
Local...
shutdown /r /c
/r = reboot, /c= close all programs.
Mine looks like this:
net send admin Servers will reboot in 10 mins
timeout 600
shutdown \\serve
Matt,
Why do you want this capability? Everytime you reboot a server, you take
a chance of something happening and it not coming up. Rebooting is one
of those things that is best not done unless you have too.
Perhaps we could help you with whatever is causing this need.

This command I use to restart my W2k Terminal servers , they can get
unsteady and need a restart from time to time, I dont know if this is
possible in NT 4.0
C:\WINNT\SHUTDOWN.EXE /L /R /T:180 "please log out and save your work
within three minutes" /Y /C

How about we address the reason you need to reboot the server on a
schedule and fix that problem, sounds like a much better solution to me.

the bigger question is WHY do you feel you need to reboot every night?
Attack that problem rather than applying a bandaid.
That said, you can use the scheduler to schedule the program. Type at /? at
a command prompt. If I'm not mistaken, the reskit also has a GUI front end
to the scheduler. Or
