A co-worker wrote a script that does the following:

Opens a file containing server list
Opens a file for output
Reads the first server name and gather information about it
Outputs the data to the output file
Repeats until the server list is done

Unfortunately, it is taking about 2 hours to run due to the number of servers.

Is there a way to run multiple reads at the same time instead of one server at a time? In a batch program I would do Start "" to open multiple windows at the same time.

I'm new at scripting so any guidance would be helpful.
