Hi Sorin,
How are the computers in the text file? Just one computer name per line and
nothing else? If so, you can enter something like this at the command
prompt to schedule your file every Monday at 8:30 AM.
for /f %a in (D:\computers.txt) do (at \\%a 8:30 /every:M
C:\Path\To\file.vbs)
This is just to be entered at the command prompt. If you were to put it
into a .cmd (or .bat) file, the two places where you see %a would have to
become %%a instead.
Note that D:\computers.txt is the path on your machine to your text file of
computers.
Note that C:\Path\To\file.vbs is the local path on the remote machine. By
default, the AT account runs as the local system, so you can't put your
target file on a network share, since AT won't have rights to it. So, you'd
have to copy the file out to everyone's machine.
Ray at work
