Darren, Assuming you can get remote access to the machine (via telnet or other), just issue the Windows shutdown command (see shutdown /? For options) to reboot the machine (after you put the new image into position by some sort of script).
You may also want to investigate and solve the root-cause of the corruption ... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paxton, Darren Sent: 02 March 2004 17:13 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [Scottish] Remote Boot using DHCP & PXE Hi folks, I'm looking at booting a Windows workstation remotely from a Linux server and was wondering if anyone out there has tried it. I've looked at the Remote-Boot mini-howto, however it would appear that my version of dhcpd doesn't support some of the variables in the sample configuration, and compiling the latest version from ISC didn't help either. Reason behind this is I have a windows box that keeps corrupting every so often requiring a reinstall (probably due the the load I put on it), and I'd like to be able to reinstall an image automagically whenever the need arises.
