File Check Across the Network

[buymeapc]

I have created a script to read a source text file which has a list of IP addresses and map a drive to those IP's (the c$), then check first to see if a certain file exists, then if it does, log the version number. The results get spit out into a log file. The way I have written it takes literally all day since the source contains over 1,000 IP's. Also, there are PC's in this list that have different credentials and I currently test via trial and error to see which PC has which credentials.

Could I ask for some help please and see what I could possibly do to improve this script?

Also, a strange thing that occurs is sometimes I get a "Undefined / Other error" in the log for Windows 2000 PC's and I don't know why. Most PC's are XP, though and do not log this error.

Thank you.

Could I ask for some help please and see what I could possibly do to improve this script?

Programs that have a speed problem as a result of blocking functions (like ping) usaully benifit alot from using threads or co-proccessing, I would look into trying a virtual multi-thread UDF to launch several of ping and drivemap add sections in blocks.

Also, a strange thing that occurs is sometimes I get a "Undefined / Other error" in the log for Windows 2000 PC's and I don't know why.

Try having it log the @extended and look up the windows API code for it. Edited June 11, 2008 by evilertoaster

I don't know how I'd have it miltithreaded. Would that be done through the same exe or a separate? I know there has to be a better way to code it other than what I have there.

I mean, it takes around 8 hours or so....that's a bit too slow. If I could possibly cut that in half that'd be great...I just don't know how. Maybe there's a different way to connect to the computers to check for the file?
