Posted July 7, 201014 yr Dear Expert I have got a client with a small network between windows 2008 server and two XP Prof SP3. Folder on window 2008 was shared to be accessed by two users on windows XP. A QuickBooks program installed by a technician from QuickBooks on the shared folder to be accessed by both clients on windows XP. Please do not try to involve how A QuickBooks was installed and why it was installed like that ,,,,etc Server gets update automatically at 3:00 am daily but it does not reboot automatically, and those update would not installed if the server does not restart . Clients have no problem to access the shared folder on the server at all. But occasionally (not always) he/she wont be able to access the Quickbooks which is installed within the shared folder on the server. What I use to do to solve this issue is restarting the server 2008 because I am assuming (might be there are other issues) that downloaded updates (Microsoft updates) are causing this problem, therefore when I restart the server everything works fine without any problem. How can I can enable the server to reboot automatically without Human interaction? What I have configured as in the snap shoot below http://freepchelp.forum/data/MetaMirrorCache/1f351581a5648f6153473da4ce4a2003.jpg Then I realized that this works when we have a logged in user which is not what I am looking for. How can I configure the server 2008 to reboot automatically when there are no users logged in ? As you know those updates would not be installed unless server shutdown or restart Thanks
July 19, 201014 yr Ahh so heres the problem... See, the option is sort of misleading. It says: "No auto-restart....". So if you disable this, its a double negative. Its like saying "I dont want you to not restart" which is like saying "restart". Try enabling this instead.

Its like saying "I dont want you to not restart" which is like saying "restart". Yes. Try enabling this instead. By choosing option "Enable" means I am going to disable a restart which I do not intend to do that.
