Good morning,

I used to use a piece of software couple with a command line script to check if an application was installed on all computers across my network, i think it was called something like netappcheck. Though I've since moved companies and cant remember where I can find it, could anyone point me in the right direction please?

thanks in advance

That's the issue I was having when I originally tried searching for netapp check, it just brings up results for that company you have linked me which has no relevance to what I'm looking for.

The .exe is run from within a command line against the domain searching all computers for a specific file and outputting a text file containing a list and whether or not the file was found.

I can see where Netapp wouldn't be much help. I used to work with those NAS\SAN devices.

The only thing I can think of would be to write a small script that would check the PC for the file. If you add it to your normal login script it would fire whenever a user logged in. I've done similar things with KIX but I'm sure it could be done with VB as well. The only product I have seen that would do this is Desktop Authority which actually runs a KIX script behind a nice GUI. It wasn't cheap though.

Give it a once over and see if this will help you at all.

Best of luck.
