Introduction
This is a Windows NT GUI Reboot utility. Currently this only can be used on NT Workstations & Servers (i.e. no Win9x support - although this support may be added in a later release).
The application allows Administrators to easily reboot a single NT machine or a group of machines by selecting the required machines from the list of available machines. In addition to the reboot functionality Administrators can cancel existing delayed reboots using the "Abort Reboot" function. All "Reboots" & "Abort Reboots" are logged to a text file (the next version will also log the attempts to the NT event log).
This program is freeware. As such, we give no warranty to its accuracy, fitness for any particular use, effects of use, or reliability. It may be freely distributed, although it must be distributed with all original files in their original format intact. Please contact Mobiusware with questions, comments, bug-reports or any updates you would like made to the program.
Installation
Just copy RemBoot.exe & the associated help file into your path, and type "Remboot" or start it by clicking the icon.
RemBoot has been developed and tested on NT 4.0 and requires no additional runtime DLLs.

See available options screenshots from NTRemBoot .
- Add the 'Success' functionality to show if the selected command worked on the selected computers.
- Enable the Load/Save features to allow customized reboot information to be saved off.
- Add NT Event log functions to supplement the existing text log file.
- Potentially enable Remote Reboot of Win9X machines as well as NT machines. This is quite easy to do, with the exception off making the request secure.
- Currently only handles the current domain
