I have a few questions:

** Are all of the computers inside the same subnet (or can a single CIDR
encompass them)
** If yes to the above, are all of the computers within the range to be
updated or just some of them?
** Should server(s) be excluded from the script?
** Are all of the computers to be updated NT based (NT, 2K, XP) or are there
some 9X machines?

When I need to do something to all of the computers in an office, I
generally walk the subnet by IP address. I use a small routine to create a
dictionary object of IP addresses from a given CIDR. I then loop through the
IP addresses in the dictionary, checking to see if the IP address pings. If
it does, I then check for whatever criteria I want (is it a workstation or
server, does 'somefile.txt' exist, etc).

Answer the questions above and I will see if I can post an example that
you could easily customize for your needs. Feel free to include any
additional information you think relevant.
