Mass Reboot of Windows Computers
To reboot all domain computers, you can use PowerShell with
the Active Directory module. Before running this script, make sure you have the
Active Directory module installed. If it's not installed, you can install it
using the following command (run PowerShell as an administrator):
Install-WindowsFeature RSAT-AD-PowerShell
Once the module is installed, you can use the following
PowerShell script to reboot all computers in your domain:
# Import the Active
Directory module
Import-Module
ActiveDirectory
# Get all domain
computers
$computers =
Get-ADComputer -Filter *
# Reboot each
computer
foreach ($computer
in $computers) {
$computerName = $computer.Name
Write-Host "Rebooting computer:
$computerName"
Restart-Computer -ComputerName
$computerName -Force
}
Write-Host "All
domain computers have been scheduled to reboot."
Please exercise caution while running this script, as it
will forcefully reboot all computers without any prompt. Make sure you have
appropriate permissions and consider notifying the users beforehand about the
reboot to avoid any inconvenience.
Save the script with a .ps1
extension (e.g., RebootDomainComputers.ps1). To execute the
script, open a PowerShell window as an administrator, navigate to the location
where the script is saved, and run it:
.\RebootDomainComputers.ps1
Note: Rebooting all computers in a domain at once can have
a significant impact on your network. Please use this script responsibly and
only in situations where it's necessary. If you want to reboot specific
computers or groups of computers, you can modify the script accordingly.
