Sometimes you need to reboot a server from the command line. It used to be a simple process, but with 2008 on there are a few extra command line switches that need to be passed.

shutdown /r /c "Rebooting in 60 sec!" /t 60 /d P:0:0

This will shutdown the local server with a 60 sec delay.

To reboot a remote computer add the following switch:

/m \\computername

Note: the /d P:0:0 there are many possible reasons.

Reasons on this computer:
