  • Macro Question

    Hi there, I was wondering if Hyena can run a macro on the network that will check for directories eg : "c:\program files\napster" if so it needs to report to a txt file with the computer number, can this be done?

    We do something quite similar to identify the date time stamp on a particular file.
    Make sure all of the computers that you want to report on are highlighted in the right hand side (CTRL-A).
    Select the MACRO button.

    MACRO COMMAND STRING = "dir \\%C1%\c$\folder\*.ver >>d:\filename.txt"
    OUTPUT FILE NAME = "d:\batchfile.bat"

    The %C1% entry refers to the column of the right hand side that contains "computer name".

    This creates a batch file containing the above command for all of the highlighted stations and creates an output file when it runs.

    All you need to do is to identify the DOS command that you need. I think "dir napster /ad" would work.

    I think this should work
