How? or is there a utility that can scan the entire NT network (one NT workstation at a time) for particular files or folders using only the default system shares (C$,Admin$). Any help will be appriciated.

Assuming that you have access permission you can use the UNC description to search remote drives with the standard Find utility from the Windows Start menu.

e.g. \\servername\Admin$ for the "Look in" box and the filename or wildcards in the "Named" box.

This is obviously a tedious way to search a large number of workstations but, it can be done.

Thanks for taking time to respond. I'm really looking for an easier way to do this. Or if there is a tool available out there.
