Distributing files to multiple desktop computers

[Totohydra]

I have four files I would like to distribute en masse. I have a batch file written that checks for the presence of the files and then copied them if needed. I've tried numerous "Run" and scheduled job options but nothing seems to take. Thank you in advance!

Create a Custom Tool in Hyena to run your batch file.

You could have it something like:

cmd /c c:\copyfiles.bat %E%

In your batch file, wherever you need the computer name that you are copying to, put in it's place %1.

Then you can select the computers you want to run this against and run the custom tool.

Right on target! Thanks!

Since the limit per go-round is 20 computers can this same type of batch file be scheduled among receiving computers?

There wouldn't be any way to schedule this process. You might be able to schedule a job on each computer that would run your batch file from a central location, but you'd have to experiment with that.
