Enumerating machines

[dineshcooper]

Is there anyway to get a list of all machine on a network, pref. programmatically or by a command.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Okay, i found out how to do this using vbscript and wmi.
Posting here in case anyone else was also wondering.

Dim GlobalName
Dim MyDomain
Dim oDomain
Dim strDomainName
Dim oComputer
Dim count
count = 0
Set GlobalName = GetObject("WinNT:")

For Each MyDomain in GlobalName

Wscript.Echo MyDomain.Name
Set oDomain = GetObject("WinNT://" & MyDomain.Name)
oDomain.Filter = Array("Computer")

For Each oComputer in oDomain
'** Displays each machine in the domain **
Wscript.Echo oComputer.Name
'Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & oComputer.Name & "\root\cimv2")
'Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem",,48)
'Wscript.Echo "UserName: " & objItem.UserName
count = count + 1
Next
Wscript.Echo Count
Next

It looks like that script shows all the machines in a Domain

this vbscript got the heck out off me. it's shows one name only in a message.

i just kept clicking and clicking :(

Yeah, sorry about that, I was using that script as an example. If you run it on a large domain you're gonna crap with all the msgboxes but you could just kill the process.

Yes it displays all machines per domain.
