Hello, I am working with Windows 2003 that only allows up to 600 second restart. I need to coordinate a reboot of systems for 900 seconds. I know that this limitation is somewhere inside the registry... Would you be so kind to point me to the solution? I CAN'T use PSSHUTDOWN or any other tool. I worked with some limitations and my limitation MUST be around the tools built-in Windows. Regards, EddySystems Administrator

Hi Eddy, As far as I know, this limitation is not controlled by registry. To achieve your goal, you can use the Windows based script in the following article: http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/186/1/Windows-Vista-Shutdownexe---Maximum-allowed-timeout-value-is-600-Seconds.html Please Note: Since the web site is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice.
