Has anyone setup an automatic routine that will reboot an NT system? We currently come in and re-boot all systems manually and would like to automate this (we don't like giving up free time on Sunday... especially during Colts Football games).

Just script create a script job in 24x7 that will reboot your servers. The script is as simple as single Reboot command. That's. Install 24x7 agents on every server and then schedule a job on the master scheduler for every one of them.

I was looking for a way to do with w/o the agent on the server. If this is the best way that is what we will do.

You can use freeware PSSHUTDOWN utility created by Mark Russinovich. This utility can be used on NT4/2000/XP to remotelle reboot computers. It uses Windows system shares to to create remote processes.
