How to get the description from the IP or name??

[pondi]

Hi all,

I admin a network (200 Pc's) and on each machine the name of the user is set in the description and not included in the machine name. One of you knows how to get the description from a machine from its IP or name?? Using a tool or prompt, whatever... Thanks.

Alex.

For possible solutions, browse the MS Scripting site:

Spend a little time poking around. There are several catogries of enumeration of local workstations possible.
