Hi,
Just on the off chance, are you using PCAnywhere to reboot. If so do not
reboot from the Start->Shutdown mechanism as it normally hangs exactly as
you have described. Use the restart button on the PCanywhere toolbar.
The dll tool should probably be called using DCOM or COM+ on win 2k. This
will get very off topic if we delve to deep though.
Also just while we're on the subject there is a bug in terminal services for
Windows 2000 which means that when you select restart there is a high chance
that the server will go down the shutdown route instead (also really
annoying for remote servers:(

Subject: [IMail Forum] OFF-Topic: forced reboot over TCP/IP port
Hello, I hope that someone can help me. I have the problem that one of my
remote servers while rebooting hangs. It just says "Shutdown in progress -
Please wait while the system writes unsaved data to the disk".
This message is shown for hours, and the server would not to a reboot, it
just remains with that box open.
Once I have seen and dl'ed a tool that allows me to do a forced "reset" over
a password protected tcp-ip port.
It was just a very small utility, that can be run in the background.
My unluck is that I don't have any idea how this utitily was called. I also
cannot find it on the net.
Any idea?
Thanks for your help.
