    You need to be a little more specific, e.g. by telling us
    - How to reach these 100 workstations? Do you have a list of NetBIOS names?
    IP addresses?
    - Where does this hidden file reside? Anywhere on the disk? In a specific
    folder?
    - Do you know the name of this file?
    - What output do you expect?

    names will be pulled from the active directory and saved as txt file. Hidden
    files reside on users local drive on each machine(c:\windows\$mhf$). the
    output should be 'If file found, specify date else return NOT Found'

    thanks

    Your answer leaves too much room for guessing. Please try to answer all
    questions. Furthermore, when you say "specify data", what do you mean? The
    file date? The current date?
