View a list of LAN comps

[ending]

This could have possibly been posted but the search function on these forums is quite horrid.

I would like to grab a list of the local area computers. I looked in the beta functions but all I could find that was remotely similar was the IP to Name function, but I need to search for the IPs in order to use it.

I need this to be able to do remote registry management.

Thanks.

You can use

$pid = Run("net view", "", 7)

And parse the return using StdoutRead().

Thats a bit dirty, but I suppose it'll do. If anyone else knows another way please post up. Thanks neogia.

Thats not working too well unless I'm doing stdoutread wrong.

The output of net view looks as follows:

Server Name Remark

---------------------------------------

\\COMPUTER1

\\COPMUTER2

The stdoutread just retuns the Server Name Remark part and stops at the blank line.

I got it. I didn't know you had to call it for each line of text. Thanks for your help neogia, this looks to be my only option.

There are other ways of getting the information needed.

1 example is in my signature called admin tool.

look in scripts and scraps there are other examples also.

I'm at work now and the network is funky so I can't really view LAN computers (I'm at a public school) but I'll play with it when I get home. Thanks.
