Ok, All Techs listen up and provide some sound minded input.

Situation: Have a network throughout an entire state, appox 30 branches, 6 of which logon to the domain. Need to send and replace files automatically (i.e. HOSTS file for internet control).

Problem: No known active directory program or any program that can do this...

Hyena is a great Admin tool, no file transfer setup.

UpdateEXPERT is great and almost there, but only updates Microsoft hotfixes and updates...

Anyoneknow of any new programs or sources of information on what is available for this or would this be alot of scripting?

Thanks for your input

Logon sripts are capable of copying files, can't they?

Logon Scripts are capable of performing the same functions as what a Batch File does.

So, in the logon script, write a batch file to

copy X:\hosts c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc

Make sure that each client is mapped to this X (name it whatever letter you want, as long as each machine will ahve this mapping) before you process this.

How often does this transfer need to occur? The scripts can do it during logon or logoff and startup and shutdown.

If you need a regular frequency you could us the at scheduler in combination with a script. An example script was give to you in the second thread of this discussion.
