The runUptime. I use AutoIt to reboot some systems. I will attach a txt file. Change the extension to. You will need one file named comps. Also needed is psexec. I load the 2 text files, psexec and my compiled autoit program on one of my servers.
I set up a scheduled task to execute my autoit program at a particular time when few people will need the workstations. I think you'll find this very easy to set up. You may need to run it one time on the server against a test system, because psexec usually pops up a window you'll need to agree to before using their program. This is a one time pop up for the system.
It looks like I can only attach one file, so I have zipped the 3 txt files together. You will still need to download psexec. Since it looks like the script part is taken care of, I'm curious - why 26 hours? That's really not long at all. Forced reboots seem like a good way to really upset a lot of users to me, though I do understand every environment is different.
I have a watcher which checks if a pc has not been used for more than two hours after 6pm in the evening. If the Pc has not been used, it's powered off. I set a Windows Task Schedule to run during the 2AM break to reboot the machines so they pickup the current date and all is good then.
Rather than touching each and every machine to configure the scheduled task, you can run a PS script off a server that will either pull hostnames from a text file or - if you're feeling especially froggy - query Active Directory and reboot each member PC in turn. Here's an example script for the first option. It accomplishes the same thing with less complexity.
I would love it if all users rebooted their machines at night. It would make my job so much easier. I have even asked for a policy to make it mandatory There is another policy in place that makes this difficult as well. An unstable operating system might have application crashes, hanging applications, or memory leaks. Sometimes even essential system functions become unresponsive. A straightforward solution is to restart. This guide will walk you through how to restart Windows Server with multiple command options.
In some cases, you may not have the GUI component installed. Or, your operating system encountered a problem, and all you can access is a command prompt. In the field, type cmd. Click OK. The —r option tells Windows to restart, instead of simply shutting down.
Windows PowerShell is like a souped-up version of the command prompt. NET framework, and includes a scripting language. PowerShell is useful for tinkering under the hood of your Windows operating system.
Once done, move to the Trigger tab and click on the New button to create an execution trigger — which is, the event that will make the system run the task itself.
A New Trigger modal window will then be opened, which you can use to setup such event. The most common trigger to setup here is a time-based trigger, which can be set by selecting the On a schedule option on the Begin the task dropdown list:. For further info regarding triggers , take a look at this MS TechNet page. Once done, move to the Actions tab and click to the New button to setup the command to execute whenever the trigger fires.
Alternative to the -r option see below. Alternative to the -s option see above. For a detailed explanation of all the shutdown. As soon as you define the Action , your planned activity should be ready: take a few seconds to check all the settings once again, then click OK to create the task. If you asked to run the task with elevated privileges the system will ask you to enter the credentials of the Administrator account or the account with administrative privileges you have chosen in the General tab : once done, the result of your work will appear, summarized in a single line, within the Task Scheduler main panel:.
