Hello Admin,

I need to reboot some PCs every weekend, say around 100+. This i need want to schedule, is it possible with Hyna ? If not is it possible to do this task Manually ??

Thanks for your reply.

It might be possible, Google "schedule computer reboot" and look at some of the discussions, for example http://www.winxptutor.com/schsd.htm. Its easier if all of the computers are running the same O/S, as the task scheduler changed. Hyena does allow you to add tasks to multiple computers, but I would first get the scheduled task to work normally through regular Windows options like the article explain, then you can try to have Hyena schedule the task on multiple computers.

I have had to schedule some reboots on workstations on occasion and I have had good luck using Hyena to create them.
Select the systems, right click, more functions, add remote job(AT). In the command line shutdown /f /r /t 300 which Shutdown with force applications closed, reboot and 5 minute countdown.

Thanks for that tip. I sometimes forget that we still allow the ancient AT scheduler, but for simple things, it not only works, sometimes it the only thing that does work !
