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

I use the sysinternals PSShutdown cmd and it works for me. Here is the
contents of my batch:

<batch>
@ECHO OFF
for /F "tokens=* " %%i IN (PCs.txt) DO (
echo.
echo #########################################
echo Rebooting %%i
psshutdown -f -r -t 1 \\%%i -u <UID> -p <password>
sleep 2
)
</batch>

I included sleep in it because I ran into problems if I didn't give it time.

You can also do this in VBScript here:
