I have 4 computers set up in what we call the bull pen they are older machines running windows 2000 the problem comes that they run slow after not being shutdown regulary (mostly 400-500 hours without a reboot) after rebooting the problem goes away. Meaning that if I can teach the guys to reboot they wouldnt have as many problems. Now I have these systems set up to be replaced in 2-3 months but I am looking for a way to auto reboot them every night at midnight or something in that nature. Any and all help would be appreciated.

Nevermind I got it figured out. Windows 2000 does not ship with a shutdown.exe file so I copied one from windows XP and placed it in the c:\winnt folder then I went to task manager and put a new task to run every night at 1am for c:\winnt\shutdown.exe -r -f -t 01 Worked like a champ.
