| 180952 | 2003-10-06 22:07:00 | Hi everyone, I want to use Reg Query (via a batch file) to query all of the workstations on my network to find out what version of MS Security Patches they have installed. I can do it one by one but want to scan all IP ranges and then output to a text file. Any ideas? |

| 180953 | 2003-10-07 03:48:00 | You can get the .bat file to do it all for you... Assuming you use the 192.168 IP range, you should be able to connect to 192.168.0.255 which will do a network broadcast (if I recall correctly) then run your RegQuery on the machines and afterwards put "> X:\file.txt" (without the quote marks) where X: is the drive where you wish for the file to save and file.txt is the filename. Bear in mind that if you have more than 1 machine (as you obviously do) then using a public network drive will not work as all the machines will overwrite file.txt with their version of it. If that doesn't work I can get a bat script which starts with the number 1 and will cyclicly move up in the process until it hits 255... Made it when I had too much free time on my hands and wanted to NET Send machines one by one :-p CyberChuck |

| 180955 | 2003-10-07 19:06:00 | Thanks for that but Im not sure what you mean by "connect" to 192 etc. (by the way Im using 10.120... I thought you meant something like reg query \\10.120.40.255\hklm\software e.t.c but it didnt work. How do I get it to do a network broadcast?? Appreciate your help. B. |
