I shutdown.exe all PCs every night at 22:00 and wake them up in the early morning for hinv/sinv Additionally I have an advertisement that runs chkdsk /f where SCCM reboots every Friday Sometimes there are PCs hanging on shutdown and users need to power off but all in all it helps a lot to have healthy PCs

I proposed that we get the firms agreement for a monthly scheduled re-start for some well publicised day. My hope was that after a month or two it would become ingrained in everyone's memory and would become an accepted part of the IT maintenance calendar. I suggested the 3rd Friday of each month, but in truth the day does not matter too much, it's more about getting the concept accepted. My proposal was not accepted but what was acceptable is a window of a week where the user must accept a re-start. So I guess I start asking them on the Monday and they get to delay it for 24 hours, I ask again on the Tuesday etc. etc. Eventually the grace window will expire and the re-start will be forced upon them. The re-start is always going to be in the maintenance window 2am to 7am. Anyone tried this, been there got the medal, or got any alternative solutions. Also interested to hear of any utilities which might offer this type of facility.
