Instead of hardcoding the computer names in the script, why not read in the lmhosts file?

Added from here down.

I looked at lmhosts.sam and found the following example:

102.54.94.97     rhino         #PRE #DOM:networking  #net group's DC
102.54.94.102    "appname  \0x14"                    #special app serv
+er
102.54.94.123    popular            #PRE             #source server
102.54.94.117    localsrv           #PRE             #needed for the i
+nclude

#BEGIN_ALTERNATE
#INCLUDE \\localsrv\public\lmhosts
#INCLUDE \\rhino\public\lmhosts
#END_ALTERNATE
[download]

It would be easy to extract the names of the computers (the ones in other domains too) and also to read in the names from include files on other systems.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
