Shutdown.exe

[nfora]

I've got my unattended install progressing nicely, but in order for things to clean up properly, I need the computer to restart immediately once it finishes its first boot. Since nlite added nlite.cmd to the first boot, it seemed like the ideal place to try to restart the machine with

Shutdown.exe -r -t 10

Unfortunately, the nlite.cmd file runs, and the shutdown never occurs, leaving me at the desktop at the end of the install. The only possibility I can come up with would be missing RPC services, but would there be a functional alternative without them?

Try this http://www.freewebtown.com/kenedy/Misc/RESTART.exe

Syntax:

"restart.exe seconds"

Example:

"restart.exe 60" will restart computer after 60 seconds

I'll give it a try when I get home this evening, thanks!

Make sure shutdown.exe is in a directory known to be in the Path variable, like C:\WINDOWS or C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32

Are you using my pack? If so, it's probably because you're sending the wrong parameters to it.
