VBScript Scheduled Task Problem

I am trying to run a script to reboot my servers with a scheduled task
(running as the Administrator):

Set OpSysSet =
GetObject("winmgmts:{(Shutdown)}!\\.\root\cimv2"). ExecQuery("select * from
Win32_OperatingSystem where Primary=true")
For Each OpSys in OpSysSet
OpSys.Reboot()
Next

The script doesn't work. However, if I logon as the Administrator and run
the script then it works fine.

What's the difference from running it logged on as the Administrator,
compared to running it from a scheduled task as the Administrator?

Scheduled Tasks|Advanced|View Log may provide some details. You might also
try using shutdown.exe Something like;

%systemroot%\system32\shutdown.exe -r
