Reboot a Windows Server

Reboot Now

Reboot Later

Using the 'at' Command

Download and extract the PsTools package from SysInternals (now Microsoft). We extract the zip archive into C:\Support\PsTools\ as a convention.

Use the 'at' command to schedule a one-off reboot:

at 2:00am c:\support\pstools\psshutdown.exe -r -f -c -t 10

or shutdown:

at 2:00am c:\support\pstools\psshutdown.exe -s -f -c -t 10

Where:

-s: Shutdown windows server
-r: Reboot windows server
-f: Forces all running application to exit
-c: Allow the shutdown to be canceled user
-t: Specifies the countdown in seconds until the shutdown

Using the Task Scheduler
