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?

Re: Find hidden file, Reading from txt file

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

Re: Find hidden file, Reading from txt file

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?
