In Windows 2000, cscript .js was able to reboot the workstation when 
started during bootup.
Not any more in XP.

cscript in XP alone won't reboot the workstation.
If you used WPKG Client, it would get "cscript ... wpkg.js"'s exit code 
and reboot (or not).

You may try to change the reboot method - search for "rebootCmd" in 
config.xml.
