Remember talking around this shutdown issue in the past. Might want to read this article

You Cannot Schedule a Windows XP-Based Computer to Shut Down and Restart by Using the AT Command with Shutdown.exe

While not directly related, just wondering if theres something in there that might twig a thought.

Here is the original thread ...

Ability to restart XP when no user is logged on

Thanks Shawn. It does appear that we're dealing with a similar issue. Startup Scripts run as the system account (as does AT) and as such would be limited by the same issue I'd think. The KB article you reference claims that the latest XP service pack corrects this issue. Not sure about that one. These are all SP2 machines.

Anyway, what ended up becoming of that? Like I said above, devcon reboot does work. I am happy using that for now, but would prefer a more native method.
