Is it possible to reboot all client computers in a 2000/2003 domain from a
group policy or something? I have to manually reboot them tonight after a
software push, and not sure how to do it. thanks.

Remember you force and such switches.

It is really irritating to think you did it
and find some dialog box held one of
them open.

The other posters gave you the good tools,
shutdown and psshutdown (plus ShutGUI).

On Win2003 there is a built-in shutdown
too.

*Including Servers* Be careful using the wildcard.

Absolutely. A wild card is a wild card. --- Steve
