I thought this maybe useful to some. It is a script that allows a user to search the network to see where a particular applicaion is running. I put in some remarks so that it would be a little more usefull to beginners.
Copy and paste from here down
/*
This script uses NET.EXE and TASKVIEW.EXE to cycle through each
PC on the network and check to see if a given application is running.
Both these programs come on an XP installation.
Just add the UserName, Password and Process and let it run.
