reboot using a batch file? |
|
|
I wanted to reboot a bunch of computers on my domain, and thanks to a
previous post, I found the command:
for /f %x in (machines.txt) do shutdown /m \\%x /r /t 0 /f
Its works perfectly when I inmput it directly the command prompt, but when I
have that in a batch file, it doesn't work. It gives me "-t was unexpected
at this time." I'v etried different things but can't get it to work. Any
idea how to get this to work in a batch file as it does when diectly inputted
into the command prompt? Thanks |

In the batch file, use %%x instead of %x (double up the percent sign).
Should get you what you need.
