#111521 - 2004-01-09 12:18 PM Running a script on remote PC's
bloodsoul bloodsoul Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-07-15 Posts: 9 Loc: uk	I have written a little Hardware/software inventory script. The script resides on my PC. Pardon my ignorance , but how can I run the script from my PC so that it will get the data from the remote PC's. e.g. Test1 Test2 Test3 etc. I would be grateful for any advice or help with this. Thanks in advance Ricky

The easiest would be to do a search for software inventory on this board and look at how other people run there scripts. You could enter the script into your login script if you have one and have it send details to a log file. Or do what I do and just have a list of pc's and get the script to read the list and then report back. The only problem with this is that you wont be able to use macros as they can only run on the pc that the script is executed on. Can you post your script and i could help further? _________________________ If at first you don't succeed, try again. Then quit. There's no use being a damn fool about it. - W.C Fields

bloodsoul bloodsoul Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-07-15 Posts: 9 Loc: uk	Azzershaw Thanks for the advice, i can see I will have problems. First I use macros and the script also uses about 4 udf's. I cannot put this script in the logon scripts, they don't always use them. I can compile either a list of PC's or Ip address's but i do not know how to referance the list. I am very new to script writing so Hints would be a great help. I have a few things to add to the script and i will try and post today, if not on Monday. please take a look and let me know what you think. thanks Ricky

The guys here will probably have a much better script but just so you can get an idea of how mine works I'll post it below (Amended a bit mind but you will get the idea)
It searches from my pc and will report back on software installed, OS version, service pack, IE etc if you want you could make it search on Ip by doing a search here for "Check Remote IP "
It starts by doing a new view in a bat file the executes the script.

Code:

  

net view /domain:domain >c:\Temp\ListPc.Txt

Code:

 

$Winword6 = "c_drive\MSoffice\Winword\winword.exe"

$Excel5 = "c_drive\MSoffice\Excel\Excel.exe"

$Word97 = "C_Drive\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Winword.exe"

$Excel97 = "C_Drive\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Excel.exe"


Open (1,"\\comp\listpc")

Do
  	$CompName=ReadLine(1)
	$compname = SubStr($compname,1,8)
	$compname = Trim($compname)


	$CompName=ReadLine(1)

; gets operating system
$os_version = ReadValue("$compname\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion","ProductName")
; gets internet explorer version
$os_version_ie = ReadValue("$compname\hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\internet explorer","version")
; gets service pack version
$os_service = ReadValue("$compname\hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion","csdversion")
; below shows the size of the hard drive
$diskspace = GetDiskSpace("$compname\c_drive\") /1024

     
    WriteProfileString("%systemdrive%\temp\Results.txt","$compname"," disk space remaining (in mb) "," $diskspace")
     WriteProfileString("%systemdrive%\temp\Results.txt","$compname"," $os_version "," $os_service")
     WriteProfileString("%systemdrive%\temp\Results.txt","$compname"," Internet Explorer "," $os_version_ie ")
    
If Exist     ("$compname\c_drive\program files\adobe\acrobat 4.0\reader\acrord32.exe")
WriteProfileString("%systemdrive%\temp\Results.txt","$compname"," Adobe Reader "," Version 4 is installed") 
EndIf
    
If Exist     ("$compname\c_drive\program files\adobe\acrobat 5.0\reader\acrord32.exe")
WriteProfileString("%systemdrive%\temp\Results.txt","$compname"," Adobe Reader "," Version 5 is installed") 
EndIf

If Exist ("$compname\c_drive\program files\adobe\acrobat 6.0\reader\acrord32.exe")
WriteProfileString("%systemdrive%\temp\Results.txt","$compname"," Adobe Reader "," Version 6 is installed") 
EndIf
     
If Exist ("$compname\c_drive\windows\system32\adobe\svg viewer")
WriteProfileString("%systemdrive%\temp\Results.txt","$compname"," Adobe  "," SVG viewer is installed")
EndIf


 If Exist("$CompName\$Winword6")=1
			WriteProfileString("%systemdrive%\Temp\ListPc.Txt","$Compname","Word ver 6"," Installed")
		EndIf
		
	If Exist("$CompName\$Excel5")=1
			WriteProfileString("%systemdrive%\Temp\ListPc.Txt","$Compname","Excel 5"," Installed")
		EndIf		
		
	If Exist("$CompName\$Word97")=1	
		WriteProfileString("%systemdrive%\Temp\ListPc.Txt","$Compname"," Word 97 "," Installed")
			EndIf
		 
	If Exist("$CompName\$Excel97")=1	
		WriteProfileString("%systemdrive%\Temp\ListPc.Txt","$Compname"," Excel 97 "," Installed")
			EndIf



Until $CompName = ""

My script is much larger then that but you get a general idea

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	You should have written the script from the beginning in such a way that it can query remote computers, e.g. by using remote registry reads and WMI instead of macros. Alternatively, use the ScheduleTask() UDF to run the scripts on remote computers. There are numerous examples on how to do this including an FAQ referencing ScheduleTask(). _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	I wounder how you'd think that macros could be used remotely in the first place as they don't even provide for the input of a remote computer name? _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.
