well...
for AD and NET you have the same capability.
you get the slice you ask for.

if you ask for specific OU, you get it.
same with NET. you ask for computers on specific PDC, and you get that.

it goes more difficult when talking about forest's

ja.
but it's for ping only.
whereas my code did multi-thread the whole process:
-ping
-read registry
-write to cache
-read from cache
-show on results screen

like said, there is more to file find than simple PING!
you can't find the file your pping, can you?
you can ping lot of shit in short time.
without any util.

the time comes from queries to the machines for more data.

no... pinging a subnet of machines, especially when half them are off or absent takes a lot to time for the timeouts to expire.

Once you have limited your computers to IPs that are active, then either check for remote file or send remote command to look for file.

Since when do you think I can't tell the difference between pinging an IP and reading from a share

pping pinged the subnet a lot faster than any serial ping does, AND returned the responses in a convenient method for scripting.

If you have a better method, bring it out.
