How do I perform an operation on every machine running on the network?

I have tried to get away from dumping text files and parsing them when I can - so another way to do this..

FOR /F "tokens=1,2 delims=\ " %%A in ('browstat vw 1 \\ServerX') do (CALL :STEP1 %%A)

This tokens statement strips out the leading back slashes - The reason I sometime strip them out is because some tools don't use the slashes and it's easier to strip them and if need be add them back if you need both in a shell script.

You could use "net view" as well - but I tend to use browstat against a DC in an NT4 environment where browsing is working well -

Looks like some pretty good stuff. Where to pick up on more syntax and commands similar to those posted here.
