I remotely want to check if a .ddl exist (in c:\winnt\system32) on about 120 workstations.

I have the following code but it doesn't seem to work:

---------------------------------------------
Break on
CLS

$input = "V:\afdeling\asb\rene\sysybtndll\werkstations.txt"
$output = "V:\afdeling\asb\rene\sysybtndll\dll.txt"

IF OPEN(1,$input,2) = 0
IF OPEN(2,$output,5) = 0
ELSE
?" Error try again"
GOTO END
ENDIF
$Werkstation = ReadLine(1)
WHILE @error = 0
$DLL = EXIST ("\\" + $Werkstation + "\c:\winnt\system32\sysybnt.dll")
IF @error = 0
$nul = WriteLine(2,$Werkstation + chr(13) +chr(10))
ELSE
$nul = WriteLine(2,$Werkstation + "DLL dont exists" +chr(13) +chr(10))
ENDIF
$Werkstation = ReadLine(1)
LOOP
ELSE
?"Werkstations.txt dont exist!"
EXIT
ENDIF
$nul = Close(2)
:END
$nul = Close(1)
EXIT
---------------------------------------------

Can somebody please help me??

The problem is that you should change ' C:\Winnt\.. ' in the line: ' $DLL = EXIST ("\\" + $Werkstation + "\c:\winnt\system32\sysybnt.dll") ' in ' C$\Winnt\.. '

The C$ share is the 'Hidden' C-Drive share..!!

No offence intended., but i took the liberty to rewrite your script..!!

code:

---

:Start
 BREAK ON CLS
 IF EXIST("V:\afdeling\asb\rene\sysybtndll\werkstations.txt")=0
  AT(02,02)"Werkstations.txt doesn't exist!!"
  GOTO End
 ENDIF
 DEL "V:\afdeling\asb\rene\sysybtndll\dll.txt"
 $NULL=OPEN(1,"V:\afdeling\asb\rene\sysybtndll\werkstations.txt")
 $NULL=OPEN(2,"V:\afdeling\asb\rene\sysybtndll\dll.txt",5)
 $Werkstation=READLINE(1)
 WHILE @ERROR=0
  AT(02,02)"Checking Workstation	: "$Werkstation
  IF EXIST("\\" + $Werkstation + "\c$\winnt\system32\sysybnt.dll")
   AT(04,02)"File sysybnt.dll		: Yes"
   $NULL=WRITELINE(2,$Werkstation+",Yes"+CHR(13)+CHR(10))
  ELSE
   AT(04,02)"File sysybnt.dll		: No!"
   $NULL=WRITELINE(2,$Werkstation+",No!"+CHR(13)+CHR(10))
  ENDIF
  $Werkstation=READLINE(1)
 LOOP
 GOTO End
:End
 $NULL=CLOSE(1)
 $NULL=CLOSE(2)
 EXIT

Succes..!! (good luck)

I tried your script, but when the file exists in "c:\winnt\system32" your script
says it doesn't exists.

Any idea???

Maybe i should have told you .. you must be a domain admin to remotely check systems this way..!?

But what does the script do..!?

I had done something like this before with
remotely checking diskspace. I was thought that I didnt need admin privileges.
I should have checked! I've learned my lesson
and want to thank you very much for your help.

Some users where the dll isn't installed
are having problems, so I wanted to check
the 120 workstations for that dll.

If it's not there I'm going to install it.

Happy to be of service..!! If you have any questions/remarks just post or email me..!!

Cya..

I just happen to have some ready built tools, that are just right for this task that you are trying to do

go here, http://kix.isorg.net/other_scripts/AdminScripts/NT_Admin/ and get the Admin_Connect.kix script.

If you use admin_connect.kix as the frame work for your DLL script, you will just need to write the code that checks for the dll on each $target computer.

Also one of the features of Admin_connect.kix is that it provides a way for you to get around the fact that you are not a Domain Admin on the $target computer.
