Nightly Reboot using bat file

[Jrgenius]

Hello All, I have been trying to get a nightly reboot working using SCCM 2012. I have created a reboot bat file .hta that I schedule for run for certain OU's. The I create a package and deploy the package to run every night at 10:50pm, this works perfect for a night or two but then it starts running all the time, like every 5 minutes all day long. I have been trying to figure out why SCCM is firing this package off every 5 minutes even though the schedule is set to run @ 10:50pm once a night. Any advice or any ideas of how to use SCCM for a night reboot would be awesome. Thank you.

I would always do something like that together with Maintenance Windows, that way you don't have "real" problems if the task missed once and/ or wants to retry. Besides that I think that the old-school task scheduler, together with GPP, has better predictable behavior for something like this...

Thank you Peter for the advice, I am going to go with GPP over SCCM for this.
