As per the group I am posting to it is Windows Advanced Server 2000.

For clarification:

Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]

The command I am trying to run is:

SHUTDOWN /Y /L /R /T:10 "Scheduled Reboot"

I tested this again with the following command:

SHUTDOWN /Y /L /R /T:10
SHUTDOWN /Y /L /A

It ran, displayed the shutdown timer as expected and then aborted as
expected.

It seems the problem is with the "message".

I've removed the message for now, but it would be useful to be able to
use the message option.

Any ideas why the message is causing such an error?

Thanks.

You might also try;

shutdown.exe /l /r /t:10 "Scheduled Reboot" /y

I think you must use the correct version of shutdown.exe that comes with the
Windows 2000 resource kit. If you don't have it you can also try;
