Thanks Per - you just saved my day!

I had the exact same problem. Being a big fan of SysInternals as well, I was trying to solve the problem using psshutdown - until I read your solution, which works beautifully!

Hi Shay

I did that - but just keeps getting device not ready.

My situation is special in another way: I just changed the domain membership before wanting to restart. That gave me problem with accessing files from sysvol so, consequently, I copy these files to C: first and executes them from there. This could explain why restart does not work - but I'm running as SYSTEM, so things should work.

Try:shutdown /r /f /t 5

Try:

shutdown /r /f /t 5
