Title: Check for active servers
Post by: golijoe on January 22, 2016, 08:16:29 AM
I have a list of servers and computers on the network. How can I verify if they are accessible and physically powered on?
This is an example of the list below:
\\server1\
\\server2\
\\server3\
ect.

Can't count all the ways you can check on a server using WinBatch because I only have 10 fingers.  One common technique is to 'ping' each server.  There are many ways to 'ping' a server with WinBatch.  For example, you could download and install the IP Grabber Extender then check out the ipPing function in the Consolidated WIL Help file.

Last I checked, with 10 fingers, you can count up to 1023, so including zero, you can count out 1024 ways to solve this problem with WinBatch... :P
