Hi Mike,
I am currently trying to reproduce the issue now. Also, I suggest you just schedule the
C:\Windows\System32\shutdown -r command and check if it works.
Have a nice day!
Sincerely,
Jack Wang

| Jack,
|
| Thanks for the reply. Yes, it works fine when a user is
| logged on. The concern is when the user ISN'T logged on.
|
| You can easily reproduce this by putting "shutdown -r -t
| 00" in a .CMD file and set task scheduler to run the .CMD
| file while you are logged off. We're running the task as
| the local administrator. The task will fail when no one
| is logged on, but work correctly when someone is logged
| on. If you pipe the output of the shutdown command to a
| file, the error result is "The device is not ready".
|
| There are no entries in any event log (app, sys, or
| security) that correspond to the problem.
